Famous for his “The Blue Danube” waltz, Fledermaus is Johann Strauss’ most popular opera. Best-known for its tunefulness, upbeat musicality and Viennese lilt, the story has hilarious twists and turns, with disguises, double crossings and rivers of champagne.
Fledermaus showcases outstanding Irish vocal talent with sopranos Jade Phoenix and Sarah Shine as Rosalinde and her maid Adele, and mezzo-soprano Sharon Carty as Prince Orlofsky. American tenor Alex McKissick sings Eisenstein and baritone Ben McAteer (Don Pasquale 2023) is Dr Falke. The ensemble cast also includes soprano Megan O'Neill and tenors Aaron O'Hare and William Pearson. Fledermaus is conducted by Richard Peirson and directed Davey Kelleher, with set design by Paul O'Mahony, costume design by Catherine Fay and lighting design by Sinead McKenna.
Fledermaus is sung in German with English subtitles.
Running time is 2 hours 30 mins including one interval.
