Composed by Johann Strauss II German Libretto by Richard Genée and Carl Haffner Kirk Muspratt, Artistic Director and Conductor Michael La Tour, Stage Director Katherine Weber, Rosalinde Jesse Donner, Eisenstein
An effervescent and sparkling confection, J. Strauss II’s beloved operetta waltzes into your heart with familiar melodies, witty repartee and delightful charm. The cunning Dr. Falke plays a joke on his good friend Eisenstein as a little revenge for a night of carousing gone awry. As his scheme unfolds, subplots hilariously pile up, eventually converging at an extravagant masquerade ball hosted by a Russian prince. Deceptions and disguises among friends and lovers give way to affection, laughter, and-as any happy ending should-champagne for all! Die Fledermaus is the supreme example of Viennese operetta. Sung in English
