Here’s Why You Should Catch This Fully-Staged Opera, Die Fledermaus At The NCPA!

If you’re always one to try #SomethingDifferent, don’t miss out on this exclusive fully-staged opera that is debuting in India. The globally-loved German operetta Die Fledermaus has finally travelled all the way from Hungary and is being presented by the Hungarian State Opera with the Symphony Orchestra of India here at Mumbai’s National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) and we are super excited!

This operetta has been performed by the Hungarian State Opera for over 125 years and is the most famous piece of work of the composer Johann Strauss II. Remember the scene in Titanic where Jack goes to dinner with Rose and her family? That’s where you would have heard Strauss’ ‘The Blue Danube’ playing!

Fully staged production with grand sets? Check. Live music by the acclaimed Symphony Orchestra of India (SOI)? Double check. A story where people lie and pretend to be someone they are not at 19th-century balls? Here, take our money now! Divided into three acts with 100+ performers, this operetta is about to be epic!

If you enjoy the feels of a European ball, love theatre and musicals, or simply enjoy a comedy of errors, this operetta is for you. Plus, do you really want to miss a chance to be one of the first people in India to enjoy the fruits of this cultural exchange?

For the ones who don’t understand German, worry not, because the entire opera will be subtitled for you live on the screens adjoining the stage so that you don’t miss out on the fun.

NCPA is every artist’s dream venue to perform on and an immersive experience for any audience member. Being staged at the Jamshed Bhabha Theatre (the biggest of the five theatres at NCPA), the venue is all set for a huge 1000+ audience members at a go.
