DIE FLEDERMAUS

SUN • DEC 2, 2018 • 2:00PM
MORSANI HALL
Take a husband on his way to jail, a wife
with a wandering eye and a best friend
who’s been dying to get revenge ever since
that embarrassing night at the costume
party when he earned the nickname “die
fl edermaus” (“the bat”). Then, give them
unlimited alcohol on New Year’s Eve. So
launches the light-hearted, high-bloodalcohol
content revenge comedy that
landed Johann “The Blue Danube” Strauss II
his place in the operatic canon.
Die Fledermaus is sung in English with lyrics
projected above the stage.

World Premiere

FERGUSON HALL
Princess Swanwhite must marry the King. But, when
he sends the Prince to school her in the demands
of being Queen, the youngsters fall for each other’s
charms – and into each other’s arms. Fleeing the
King’s wrath, the Prince dies in a storm. Or does he?
Swanwhite’s faith in the power of love may have the
power to save her Prince as Opera Tampa presents
the world premiere of Anton Coppola’s latest work,
the intimate chamber opera Lady Swanwhite.
Lady Swanwhite is sung in English with lyrics
projected above the stage.
