STAGED AS:concert performance
A sparkling comedy where, in an ever‑accelerating pace, everyone is chasing the impossible: lost youth, faded honour and dreams that can never quite be reached. Guest appearance at Filadelfiakyrkan.
Johann Strauss II, a master of the art of composing waltzes, wrote Die Fledermaus in 1873. It has since become one of glittering Vienna’s best loved operettas. After just a few bars, audiences are whisked away to another world as the story waltzes along to the masked ball that changes everything. The performance takes place in Filadelfiakyrkan (the Philadelphia Church) in Stockholm, with a minimalist staging concept.
