Opera Under the Stars
About This Event
This concert features the best of Strauss’ sparkling operetta Die Fledermaus (The Bat). With six high-caliber soloists and full orchestra, the concert will open the season with high comedy and high notes!!
This dazzling comedy of mistaken identities, playful revenge, secret disguises, and romantic mischief, unfolds as friends and lovers become entangled during an unforgettable evening at a glamorous Viennese ball.
Filled with wit, champagne-fueled revelry, and unexpected twists, the operetta, composed by Johann Strauss II to a German libretto by Karl Haffner and Richard Genée, premiered in Vienna in 1874.
It celebrates the joy of laughter while reminding us that forgiveness is often the happiest ending of all. This lighthearted concert presents the glorious music of Die Fledermaus, sung by exceptional vocalists from the Palm Springs Opera Guild in concert with the Coachella Valley Symphony. Under the direction of John Mario DiCostanzo, audiences are always thrilled with its irresistible melodies, dazzling waltzes, and infectious spirit brought to life in a delightfully entertaining musical experience.
