Irish National Opera returns to An Grianán Letterkenny for one night only with Johann Strauss’s bubbly comedy operetta Die Fledermaus. 

In a whirlwind of mistaken identities, man-about-town Eisenstein, his wife Rosalinde, and their maid Adele all find themselves at Count Orlofsky’s masked ball. A night of flirtation, mischief and hilarity ensues. Donegal audiences will have the opportunity to see this unforgettable production on stage Saturday 15th February. 

While Strauss is most famous for his “The Blue Danube” waltz, Die Fledermaus is arguably his most popular opera, known for its tunefulness, upbeat musicality and Viennese lilt.

An Griánan attendees will be treated to some of Strauss’ beautiful music, guaranteed to strike a chord with both seasoned opera goers and newcomers alike.  

Have a sneak peek at rehearsals here:

This touring chamber production is arranged and conducted by Richard Peirson, renowned for his previous work with INO, including the Irish Times Theatre Award-winning Hansel and Gretel, which earned the 2022 Best Opera award. Pierson’s new adaptation promises to be a fresh take on Die Fledermaus, blending the vibrancy of Strauss’s original score with a contemporary sense of energy and fun and bringing a new dimension to this beloved work. 

“It’s thrilling to bring Die Fledermaus to Irish audiences” says Director Davey Kelleher “We’re reimagining Strauss’s dazzling operetta in a bold, intimate setting, brimming with energy and playfulness.”

Meet the cast of Die Fledermaus by the Irish National Opera

Featuring a slew of Irish talent and international singers, Fledermaus  showcases the outstanding sopranos  Jade Phoenix and  Sarah Shine as Rosalinde and her maid Adele, alongside mezzo-soprano Sharon Carty as Prince Orlofsky.

American tenor Alex McKissick sings Eisenstein.

The ensemble also includes Northern Irish singers, baritone Ben McAteer (Don Pasquale 2023) as Dr Falke and Aaron O’Hare as Alfred.

The cast is rounded off by soprano Megan O’Neill and tenor William Pearson.   

Don’t miss this chance to see Irish National Opera’s Fledermaus in An Grianán Theatre, Letterkenny, Saturday 15 February at 7:30pm. Tickets €32/€29, under 18s €12 tickets available at www.angrianan.com 

Stay for the opera, get drunk on the music.
