Die Fledermaus

Be swept away by Jonathan Eaton’s gilded new production of the perennial Strauss favorite, Die Fledermaus. Strauss’ masterpiece tells of a delightful plot devised by Dr. Falke against his friend Gabriel von Eisenstein in revenge for a practical joke played years beforehand. Champagne and waltzes, mistaken identities, flirtations at a masked ball, frivolities and confusions of all kinds provide a hilarious vehicle for some of the most captivating music ever written–sung in English. A New Year’s favorite in great cities around the world, make Opera Theater’s Die Fledermaus part of your Pittsburgh holiday celebration. Waltz in the new year!
