Die Fledermaus ◦ The Bat
J. Strauss Jr.
Die Fledermaus is a perennially popular and deeply cherished Viennese comedic operetta. This hilarious screwball comedy has something for everyone: practical jokes and posh masked balls, mistaken identity and deception, romance and seduction—all set to an enchanting score from the Waltz King himself, Johann Strauss II.
Music and dialogue in English.

February 2025

Opera Gala Favourites of Opera with the Early Music Studio

March 2025

Die Zauberflöte ◦ The Magic Flute
W. A. Mozart
Mozart's last—and often deemed best—opera is The Magic Flute. This comic tale is a timeless adventure: save the princess! Serpents and sorcerers, trials and temptations beleaguer our bumbling heroes in their quests to find true love. 
Music sung in German, dialogue in English
