Die Fledermaus (The Bat) @ HKAPA – 24, 26, 28 March

Die Fledermaus (The Bat) @ HKAPA - 24, 26, 28 March

“This is a story about marriage and friendship, love and forgiveness.” – Carolyn Choa, Director of Die Fledermaus (The Bat)

After almost 30 years of performing and writing dance music with enormous success, Johann Strauss II, “the Waltz King”, turned his attention to the theatre. Inspired by Offenbach and encouraged by his first wife, Jetty Treffz, he began to write operettas in 1871. In 1874, he wrote ‒ “in 42 nights” – Die Fledermaus, his third operetta,together with the librettists Karl Haffner and Richard Genée. The piece quickly became a huge success and is now widely regarded as one of the finest of this musical genre.

As with Strauss’ Waltzes and Polkas – what makes the music of Die Fledermaus so intriguing is first and foremost the inexhaustible richness of melody, but also the originality of invention and the sparkling orchestration. This is timeless music, which has its deeper roots in the music of Mozart and Schubert and which is in its naturalness and effortlessness comparable to theirs.
