Die Fledermaus (The Bat), a comic opera by Johann Strauss the Younger, will be presented by the Mississippi Opera Association, 7:30 PM at Thalia Mara Hall tomorrow night (4/17/2010). It should be a most enjoyable evening. Pictures below the fold.
The first three pictures below were taken from the orchestra pit.
Strauss, writing for the Viennese upper class in the middle of the nineteenth century, composed with a limited palette and with an eye towards the Austrian censor, but within those limitations, he was a complete master of his material.
