Over the course of the opera, Prince Tamino faces a quest: if he proves his worth, he will win Pamina’s hand. In the current production, a mature, rationalistic life philosophy is juxtaposed with rampant emotionality, and so, tells a tale of coming of age.

31 Monday Die Fledermaus 2018-12-31T19:00:00+01:00 2018-12-31T22:30:00+01:00 Since New Year’s Eve 1900, Die Fledermaus has appeared on the Wiener Staatsoper’s programme at the end of year: a piece of tradition and a musical entertainment theatre classic. “Happy is he who forgets” – so the (Viennese) summary of the operetta goes (incidentally, the only version the Wiener Staatsoper has in its repertoire). The internationally renowned production by Otto Schenk takes the audience on a bumpy ride through all kinds of intrigues, clothing mix-ups and mistaken identities, until we finally reach a rather hung-over happy end.
