"Enfant et les Sortilèges" is a one-act opera by Maurice Ravel, with a libretto by Colette. The opera tells the story of a mischievous child who, after being scolded by his mother, takes out his anger on the objects in his room. To his surprise, the objects come to life and confront him about his behavior.

One of the characters in the opera is a bat, which comes to life and sings a song about how it loves to fly at night. The bat is part of a group of animals and objects that come to life in the child's room, including a teapot, a clock, and a grandfather clock.

The bat character is portrayed as playful and mischievous, much like the child protagonist. Its song is a lively and whimsical aria, and it adds to the overall surreal and fantastical atmosphere of the opera
