Die Fledermaus

Die Fledermaus, a comic operetta, is synonymous with opulence, laughter, and revelry. Its story revolves around a grand masquerade ball, making it the perfect choice for celebrating Vancouver Opera’s impressive milestone. The production will bring the festive atmosphere to life with a stunning cast of international and local talents, breathtaking sets, and lavish costumes. Ashlie Corcoran returns to direct her second Vancouver Opera season opener in a row, having helmed the fantastical Magic Flute in 2023, while Vancouver Opera Music Director Jacques Lacombe is conducting this high-spirited score which he has performed in past seasons in many major opera house including the Metropolitan Opera and the Monte Carlo Opera.

 

“With its hilarious, champagne-forward hijinx, Strauss’ classic operetta Die Fledermaus is the perfect way to pop the cork on our celebratory season in October and November 2024,” said Tom Wright, Vancouver Opera General Director.
