Join Opera San José For DIE FLEDERMAUS! Opening September 14
On September 14th Opera San José opens the 2019-2020 season with Die Fledermaus.
We kick off the season on September 14, 2019 when we open Die Fledermaus. Michael Morgan, music director of Festival Opera in Walnut Creek will make his Opera San José debut conducting Johann Strauss' most seductive series of waltzes and polkas, effervescent arias and dizzying, sentimental ensembles. We will have particularly brilliant sets and costumes, and Marc Jacobs will return to direct this production, which was highly appreciated in 2012. Fledermaus is a double dose of good cheer, thanks to the sparkle of excellent champagne and a vintage, masterful operetta.
This production from Opera San José is funded in part by a City of San José Cultural Affairs.
Die Fledermaus will be sung in German with English dialogue and English supertitles. Runtime is approximately three hours. Opera San José presents six performances of this opera, opening in San José's California Theatre on September 14, 2019, closing September 29, 2019. The California Theatre is at 345 S. First Street in downtown San José.
