Georgia State University Opera Theater presents “Die Fledermaus,” a.k.a. “The Flittermouse Operetta” presenting a comedic revenge by Johann Strauss II unveiled in three acts. An elaborate reprisal scheme reveals a lighthearted story of forgiveness and love propelled by flirtation, little lies and too much wine, all named for the victim of a years-earlier prank involving a Viennese ball guest dressed in a bat costume. In recent years, “Die Fledermaus” ranked in the top 15 operas among hundreds of titles annually performed worldwide. The popular Strauss work has been presented continuously in Vienna since its 1874 premiere, with this Atlanta performance accompanied by the GSU Symphony Orchestra. Experience an evening filled with lively waltzes, sparkling arias, and a hilarious storyline of mistaken identities and playful pranks. Follow the misadventures of Gabriel von Eisenstein as he is tricked into attending a lavish masquerade ball hosted by the eccentric Prince Orlofsky, all while his wife Rosalinde and their maid Adele join the festivities in disguise.
