Opera Italia presents “Die Fledermaus” in German with English dialogue. Die Fledermaus ("The Bat") is a comic operetta by Johann Strauss II about revenge, mistaken identities, and romantic deceptions that unfold at a grand masquerade ball on New Year's Eve. Dr. Falke orchestrates a revenge plot against his friend, Eisenstein, who once left him drunk and humiliated in a bat costume. The elaborate plan involves Eisenstein unwittingly flirting with his own disguised wife, Rosalinde, while she is also in disguise, and their maid, Adele, aspiring to a career in acting. The night culminates with the characters in prison, where their secrets are revealed, and everything is eventually, and humorously, blamed on the champagne.

Anna Caplan will perform the role of Prince Orlofsky.
