Die Fledermaus - 1874 - Vienna Articles Page 2

Hell hath no fury like a bat scorned. Amid a backdrop of debauchery, hilarity and identity confusion, revenge is served with champagne in Indiana University Opera Theater's third production of the season.

Rehearsals begin today, Monday, April 5 for the World Premiere production of PARADISE FOUND, a new musical under the combined direction of Theater legend and 21-time Tony Award winner Harold Prince (the original productions of Cabaret, Sweeney Todd, A Little Night Music, The Phantom of the Opera, Company, Follies, Evita) and 5-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman (Crazy For You, Show Boat, The Producers, Contact). This is their first collaboration since the landmark, Tony Award-winning revival of Show Boat. Following the New York rehearsal period, the production will open at London's acclaimed Menier Chocolate Factory with performances running May 19 through June 26.

Bill Irwin will make his Metropolitan Opera debut in a speaking role in Die Fledermaus from December 19th through January 7th
