DIE FLEDERMAUS by Johann Strauss II to Open Opera in the Heights 2016-17 Season

Opera in the Heights opens its 21st season with Die Fledermaus, featuring a lavish masquerade ball, an elaborate trap and a whirlwind of lies and revelations. This comedic tour-de-force is full of mischief, disguises and irresistible, bounce-in-your-seat tunes, courtesy of Johann Strauss II, also known as "the Waltz King." Bill Fabris is the stage director, who enjoys a growing international reputation for innovative and entertaining productions and is equally at home in the worlds of opera and musical theatre.

Opera in the Heights is a professional opera company that exists to provide a stage for emerging performers and to bring affordable opera to the Greater Houston Area. All operas are fully staged with orchestra and presented in the original language with English translation (where applicable) projected above the stage.
