DIE FLEDERMAUS at Theatre at St. Jean’s

New York, N.Y. — Amore Opera opens its holiday season with Johann Strauss II’s Die Fledermaus at its new home, the Theatre at St. Jean’s on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. This bubbly, musical tale of romantic intrigue and merry revenge will be presented in full production with full orchestra conducted by Douglas Martin, with stage direction by Amore Opera’s Artistic Director Nathan Hull. Amore Opera’s production of Die Fledermaus features several talented casts. The part of the beset Eisenstein is performed by baritones Matthew Ciufitelli, Neal Harrelson and Christopher Nelson; Eisenstein’s wife, Rosalinda is sung by sopranos Amal El-Shrafi, Iris Karlin and Helaine Liebman; and the part of the coquettish Adele is portrayed by sopranos Jessi Goebel, Jane Hoffman and Haley Vick. Die Fledermaus will be sung in a new English translation. There will be nine (9) performances: Sat Dec 17 (2:30); Sun Dec 18 (2:30 AND 7:30); Tues Dec 27 through Sat Dec 31 (all at 7:30); and a
final Sunday matinee, Sun Jan 1st at 2:30.
