Die Fledermaus (The Bat) is an operetta in three acts composed by Johann Strauss II. The operetta is a comedy of errors, involving mistaken identity, prison, and a bat costume.
The operetta is referenced on episode 213 of The Muppet Show. Giuseppe Wagner is the composer of the opera The Barber of Die Fledermaus, a reference to both The Barber of Seville and Die Fledermaus.
The production was also referenced in the stage adaptation of Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas: Gretchen Fox attempts to perform a song from "Die Fieldmouse" during the talent contest, only for her husband Harrison Fox to catch her and kick her off stage.
