Contemporary themes flavor ’s production of Johanna Strauss II's Die Fledermaus (Or, The Bat's Revenge), even as the original champagne-and-whipped-cream story shines through. How could it be otherwise with a libretto featuring cheating lovers who threaten marriages and mega-rich schemers who are dragged off to jail? The stuff of today’s gossip blogs is brought to bubbling life through Strauss II’s melodies and a hilarious English translation from the Metropolitan Opera. Directed by Lynne Morrow.
Enjoy Die Fledermaus for two full weekends with Sunday matinees at 5 p.m. on Feb. 20 and at 2 p.m. on Feb. 27.
