The Story
Join Alberta Vocal Arts in their inaugural staged production of, 'Die Fledermaus: The Champagne Operetta', directed by Shandra Gallant. This sparkling production showcases Johann Strauss' comedic operetta, a delightful tale filled with mistaken identities, tangled romances, and an enchanting masquerade ball. It is also the 150th anniversary of this timeless classic, and one of the Top 10 performed operas in the canon.
Follow the hilarious mis-adventures of Gabriel von Eisenstein, a charming yet wayward husband, his quick witted wife Rosalinde, the mischievous Dr. Falke, the ambitious maid Adele, the passionate opera tenor Alfred, the steadfast prison warden Frank, and the eccentric Prince Orlofsky. There will also be a surprise guest or two... you never know who the Prince invites to his parties! Amidst the laughter and revelry, these characters discover invaluable lessons about love, forgiveness, and the transformative power of a night of masked enchantment.
