As in every year, in 2016 a major opera production took place at Düsseldorf’s Robert Schumann Hochschule in collaboration with the Deutsche Oper am Rhein. This year the operetta Die Fledermaus [The Bat] by Johann Strauß was produced.

Derek Wardwell (Shaun Noble) is struck with amnesia, and the last thing he remembers is the beautiful voice of opera singer Helen Maxwell (Evelyn Maccabe). When he regains consciousness, Wardwell thinks he's in love with her. After his amnesia is cured, Wardwell returns to his fiancee while Helen begins a romance with his doctor.
