Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss II

MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND: May 13 and 14 - Both Performances at 2PM

Opera San Luis Obispo is thrilled to present an entirely new production of Johann Strauss II's comic masterpiece DIE FLEDERMAUS. Sung in English, our newly envisioned production updates the opera to a 1970's themed disco party while transforming Miossi Hall into San Luis Obispo's very own Studio 54! One of the most famous operas of all time, DIE FLEDERMAUS is a perfect first-opera experience for newcomers.

Make Mother’s Day Weekend 2023 a “forever memory” with an afternoon of laughs and tomfoolery set to the most famous melodies and Viennese waltzes of all time. From the team that brought you South Pacific (2019) and Carousel (2022), Stage Director Zach Johnson, Choreographer Drew Silvaggio, and Music Director & Conductor Brian Asher Alhadeff join forces again with an acclaimed cast of singers and dancers alongside the OperaSLO Grand Orchestra and Chorus.

About Die Fledermaus:

It's New Year’s Eve and Gabe is being forced to go to jail for insulting the head of New York City’s Port Authority, however, he decides to evade jail for one night so that he can attend the hottest Disco in Manhattan with his friend Falcon. Gabe tells his wife Alexandra, that he is heading off to jail. However, Falcon has engineered a prank to get revenge on Gabe for playing a similar joke on him in the previous year: unbeknownst to Gabe, Falcon has also invited Alexandra to attend the Disco in disguise! Mistaken identity after mistaken identity leads Gabe to unknowingly seduce his own wife, and in the true spirit of comedy, the hilarious farce ends with a happy ending for all.
