For punchlines, kicklines, fräuleins and good times, nothing’s better than a Die Fledermaus summer.

Aided by champagne and in ludicrous disguises at the eccentric Orlovsky’s lavish party, a vengeful doctor, dazzling diva, stereotypical tenor and ambitious maid set loose choreographed chaos.

St Paul’s Opera’s boisterous production saw Strauss’ operetta reimagined in a vintage movie studio. References to Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and other familiar characters abound in a new script by award-winning writer/director Jonny Danciger. The iconic tunes were roared into life by musical director George Ireland and his chamber ensemble.
