from the Operetta Die Fledermaus

Beside his 150 waltzes Johann Strauss composed several operettas of which 'Die Fledermaus' his best contribution to this genre is. The 'Melodram' is sung by Frank, governor of the prison, at the very beginning of the third act: it's the morning after Prince Orlofsky's ball and Frank, still drunk, has to clear up all the misunderstandings.
