Portland Opera: Die Fledermaus
November 7, 9m, 13 & 15, 2014
Keller Auditorium

On December 11, 1964 in the Madison High School auditorium, conductor Henry Holt gave the downbeat for Die Fledermaus, launching Portland Opera’s inaugural production. This champagne-fueled operetta is the magnum opus of Johann Strauss II, the “Waltz King” whose works include “The Blue Danube” and “Tales from the Vienna Woods.”
When wine, women and song unite at Prince Orlofsky’s masked ball, elaborate plots are uncorked and romantic assignations go astray. At the epicenter of it all is Gabriel von Eisenstein, disguised as suave “Monsieur Renard” and blissfully unaware that the piquant Hungarian countess he is wooing is actually his own wife, Rosalinde. By daybreak the party guests are all at the city jail, where the von Eisensteins find their passion for each other rekindled and everyone is free to leave…after a final chorus in honor of champagne, of course!

Sung in English with projections above the stage.
