Johann Strauss II

Beginning in November, I thought about looking for a new opera to play as we approached the New Year. However, by the beginning of December, I’d already heard from several people who asked me to repeat Johann Strauss' “Die Fledermaus” because it’s become a part of their family tradition. Who am I to go against tradition? So, on this week’s Sunday Opera (12/28 3:00 p.m.), the all-star “bat” returns!

We've scheduled a classic recording of Strauss' "Die Fledermaus" for our annual New Year's production. If features a stellar cast lead by Hilde Guden, Regina Resnik, and Waldemar Kmentt with special guests at Count Orlafsky's ball included Renata Tebaldi, Mario del Monaco, Theresa Berganza, Joan Sutherland, and many more,.

This week's Sunday Opera is a gala production from 1960 and features one of the best of Prince Orlofsky's party entertainment. We'll follow the opera with some New Year's waltzes.
