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!

It was a wonderful surprise when I once again got emails requesting what has become a New Year’s tradition on the Sunday Opera. I’m rather pleased to once again offer a European tradition on this week’s Sunday Opera (12/29 3:00 p.m.) as we prepare you for your New Year’s celebrations with Johann Strauss’ “Die Fledermaus.”

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.
