In this opera, one character pretends a letter from her sister Ida is a summons to visit her dying aunt. A soprano describes how she could act any part from a queen to a country girl in the "Audition Aria" that she sings to Chevalier Chagrin. Earlier, a woman steals her husband's watch during an aria inspired by the Csardas folk dance that she performs while disguised as a Hungarian countess. In the final act of this opera, the disguises of Frank, the maid Adele, and Rosalinde are exposed when they find themselves in a prison after a night of drinking at Prince Orlofsky's ball before Falke reveals the party was a set-up to play a joke on Eisenstein. For 10 points, name this Johann Strauss opera titled for a cave-dwelling animal.
