Fledermaus: A Champagne Masquerade

Abridged Opera is delighted to celebrate its 11th Season with a sparkling new production of Johann Strauss II’s beloved operetta Fledermaus (The Bat). This timeless classic of comedy, champagne, and mistaken identities will be presented in collaboration with the Windsor Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Geoffrey Larson.

Known as Strauss’s most effervescent work, Die Fledermaus combines soaring melodies, witty dialogue, and dazzling dance rhythms in an evening that is both glamorous and hilarious. Abridged Opera’s fully staged production promises to capture the operetta’s Viennese charm while infusing it with the vitality and artistry of Windsor’s own creative community.

This production also honors the late Maestro Robert Franz, who championed the idea of presenting Fledermaus and whose request inspired Abridged Opera to bring it to life.

Raise a glass, don your masquerade mask, and join us for an evening of music, merriment, and community spirit. Fledermaus is Windsor’s party of the season that you won’t want to miss.
