About the Show

Fledermaus! is a story of revenge, infidelity, disguises, and imprisonment decorated by Strauss’s splendid waltzes. With its glorious music, wonderful singing, and a charming and witty libretto, GSOV offers two opportunities to see this joyful work of genius. The first is in the beautiful shady garden setting of The Knowe, an historic cottage in Sassafras. Tickets are strictly limited and this summer presentation always sells out quickly. The second is the recently refurbished, The Round Studio.

A Viennese gentleman, Gabriel von Eisenstein, who should be heading to prison for whacking a policeman and calling him a “dummkof”, ends up going to a grand party at the villa of the Russian Prince Orlovsky!

However, von Eisenstein has been lured into a trap concocted by Dr Falke, his once rival for the heart of Rosalinda. Meanwhile, believing her husband von Eisenstein is imprisoned, Rosalinda has agreed to Dr Falke’s invitation to attend the same party disguised as an Hungarian Countess! Falke’s aim is simple: revenge and to enjoy von Eisenstein’s embarrassment.

But it seems that even further mischief is afoot as Adele, the von Eisenstein’s maid, also attends the party in Rosalinda’s best dress! Inevitably, too much champagne is consumed resulting in a hilarious mixture of disguises and wrongdoings. However, through the splendid magic of operetta, all ends happily!

Fledermaus! will be presented in costume with accompaniment from a quartet of players in the delightful garden of the historical The Knowe, Sassafras, as well as the Studio at The Round.
