Power, passion, and poise define the women at the heart of this season's operatic journey—heroines who defy the roles society has written for them and instead compose their own destinies. Through the glittering façade of the masquerade, they navigate a world where love is bartered, reputations are fragile, and identity must be both shielded and revealed.
Die Fledermaus
by Johann Strauss
September 19, 2025 at the Austrian Embassy
*Performance begins at 7:30pm
In Die Fledermaus, Johann Strauss’s sparkling masterpiece, wit, intrigue, and champagne flow freely as the clever and cunning Rosalinde transforms an opulent masquerade ball into an evening of playful deception and delightful revenge. Amid glittering masks and hidden identities, secrets unravel in the most charming and unexpected ways. Join us for this timeless comedic opera where elegance and mischief collide in glorious harmony.
