Die Fledermaus (expired event)

Join us for a dazzling performance of Strauss's best music produced by WAAPA students.

Director: Rachel McDonald & Music Director: Burhan Güner

Performed by: Classical Voice students with the WAAPA Symphony Orchestra

Created by the waltz king Johann Strauss Jr, Die Fledermaus (The Bat) is a heady mix of sparkling music wrapped around a brilliant farce. In this lighthearted tale of love, revenge and mistaken identities, the madcap action follows Eisenstein who would rather party than go to gaol; his wife Rosalinde who is keen to teach him a lesson; and their pert maid Adele, whose eye for the main chance is unwavering. In this effervescent new production, Viennese decadence is a natural match for the neurotic escapism of contemporary celebrity culture.
