Pop-up Opera is back touring Scotland this Summer! Experience opera on a miniature scale with specially created 30-minute versions of Die Fledermaus and Eugene Onegin - one a sparkling comedy of mistaken identities, the other a stirring tale of first love - brought to life by a storyteller, two singers, instrumentalists, and a beautiful backdrop and set of illustrations.

A Little Bit of… Die Fledermaus  |  Strauss II arr. Derek Clark  |  Illustrations Mar Hernandez

Strauss’s Die Fledermaus (The Bat) is a rip-roaring comedy filled with deceit, betrayal, and Viennese waltzes. At Prince Orlofsky’s New Year’s Eve party, Dr Falke is out for playful revenge on his friend Eisenstein, who once left him in a drunken stupor after a night out at a fancy dress ball. Left to stagger home alone the next morning still in his bat costume, the locals laughed behind Dr Falke’s back, but now is his chance for payback. Falke plots to expose Eisenstein’s flirtatious ways to his wife Rosalinde, who is disguised as a Hungarian countess. The end result is hilarity – and lots of champagne.

Pop-Up Opera 2023 by Strauss II, From (2023/2023), A’ the Airts Community Art Centre, Sanquhar, Dumfries, United Kingdom
