Vancouver Opera’s Die Fledermaus

Johann Strauss’ Die Fledermaus, also known as The Revenge of the Bat, defies dark expectations with its explosion of charm, wit, and spirited revelry. This belovedoperetta brims with a festive masquerade, a chorus of unforgettable voices, and rousing tunes like “King Champagne,” inviting audiences to raise a glass and join the fun.

Since its 1874 debut, Die Fledermaus has become the most-performed operetta worldwide—and for good reason. Inspired by vaudeville and farce, this comedic masterpiece celebrates dancing, laughter, love, and endless toasts to champagne, all amid a plot of mistaken identities, flirtations, and madcap pranks.

Returning to direct her second consecutive Vancouver Opera season opener, Ashlie Corcoran brings her distinct flair following last year’s magical Magic Flute. Paired with Vancouver Opera MusicDirector Jacques Lacombe’s expert touch on the lively score, each note adds sparkle to this unforgettable production.

Tickets start at just $25!
