Toronto City Opera: Die Fledermaus

Elegance and decadence, deception and frivolity mingle on a night of unintended consequences. True emotions and true identities still surface even with elaborate attempts to hide them. A shining example of Comic opera, Die Fledermaus is a perennial audience favourite. It sustains its renowned entertainment value not only because of its endless melodic delight, but also because its dramatic complexity contains stimulating undertones for musing reflection woven into its hilarity and joy.

This fully staged production, with piano accompaniment, will be sung in the original German with English supertitles. Spoken dialogue will be in English. Running time is approximately 2:45 with one 20 minute intermission.
