Champagne-fueled chaos where everyone pretends to be someone else — what could go wrong?
Intrigue, champagne, and irony: in a production directed by Barrie Kosky, the Bavarian State Opera presents a sparkling production of Johann Strauss II's Die Fledermaus.
Direction
Kosky's staging turns the operetta into a theatrical fever dream.
Acting
Diana Damrau's Rosalinde — technically flawless, comedically lethal.
Production
Sets and costumes that wink at both 1874 and 2023.
Director
Myriam Hoyer
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Die Fledermaus is basically Austria's unofficial national anthem — every New Year's Eve, Vienna loses its collective mind to this score.
The original 1874 premiere flopped. Audiences hated it. Now it's performed somewhere in the world approximately every four minutes. Taste is fickle.
