Waltzes you recognize, infectious melodies, and a masquerade ball where one complication follows another. In Die Fledermaus, Johann Strauss II serves up a musical feast featuring ten vocal soloists — and some of the operetta world’s most beloved tunes. A guest performance at the Filadelfia Convention Center.

Price

Johann Strauss sets the action of Die Fledermaus in motion right from the famous overture. Then follow waltzes, polkas, and melodies that have become so familiar you may have heard them all your life without knowing their source—from Rosalinde’s passionate csárdás to Adele’s virtuosic couplet.

On stage, you will encounter ten vocal soloists in a fast-paced interplay of disguises, flirtations, revenge, and mistaken identities. Everything builds toward Prince Orlofsky’s grand masquerade ball, where champagne flows, identities are put at stake, and Strauss lets the waltz take center stage. Beneath the festive revelry lie people trying to grasp what seems just out of reach: vanished youth, lost honor, and unattainable dreams.

Die Fledermaus is being performed at the Filadelfia Convention Center in Stockholm in a stripped-back production that allows the music, the singers, and the effervescent comedy to take the spotlight.
