Die Fledermaus - WIENER STAATSOPER(2019)

Die Fledermaus is a comic opera that follows a fashionable socialite who evades his prison sentence by slipping away to an extravagant masquerade ball. As champagne flows and guests waltz through the night, hidden secrets and romantic entanglements unravel into a whirlwind of mistaken identities and costume chaos. Otto Schenk's internationally celebrated production captures the operetta's signature blend of wit and musical brilliance, steering the plot through elaborate intrigues toward a delightfully disheveled happy ending. Conducted by Franz Welser-Möst, this Vienna State Opera performance was streamed on Strauss' birthday as part of the inaugural World Opera Day celebrations in October 2019, bringing Strauss' timeless masterpiece to audiences worldwide.
