About Die Fledermaus
Johann Strauss＇s classic operetta Die Fledermaus, is a comic story of revenge, seduction and mistaken identity, centred on a high-society party thrown by Prince Orlofsky. Man-about-town Eisenstein is to be jailed, his wife is being seduced by an old flame, his friend Dr Falke has a plan to exact revenge for a past prank, and everybody wants to go to the party!
Light-hearted and colourful, yet sophisticated, this new production from Olivier Award-winning director Christopher Alden is re-imagined in an Art Deco-inspired fantasy world influenced by Freud and dream analysis. The staging offers the perfect complement to Viennese waltz-king Strauss＇s sparkling melodies, including the joyous ＇Laughing Song＇ and the memorable chorus in praise of champagne.
Die Fledermaus opens at the London Coliseum on Monday 30 September for 11 performances – 30 September, 2, 5, 9, 11, 15, 18, 22, 24, 31 October and 2 November at 7.30pm.
Running time: 2 hours 35 minutes (with interval)
Sung and surtitled in English.
