So that you can get to know #TeamDieFledermaus we thought we’d ask our brilliant singers a few questions about their characters:
What would your character have in their supermarket shopping trolley?Falke: Vodka and crisps
Rosalinde: Nappies, formula, Pinot Grigio
Eisenstein: Stella and nappies
Adele: Smashed avocado, honey flavoured lockets, sugar free red bull Read more
We had a great time in our Research & Development rehearsals and sharing last week. Thank you to everyone who came along to see what we’ve been up to so far and give feedback. As well as working hard on the music, staging the scenes and making sure the storyline is clear we also asked our singers a few questions to help you get to know them….
Claire Wild: I want to be the invisible one from Fantastic Four for a million reasons really, but mostly to be sneaky and overhear conversations.
David Horton: Nightcrawler because he can teleport and is super agile and I’m neither of those things!
Alistair Ollerenshaw: Spiderman – to be super agile and be able to swing from buildings.
Abigail Kelly: Scarlet Witch as she is possibly the most powerful being in the Marvel universe. Read more
This event is in the past. Check out our upcoming productions page for what’s coming up!
Die Fledermaus is a hugely fun, often silly story with some brilliant characters and very catchy tunes. Die Fledermaus means ‘The Bat’ but in our modern version Bat Man may play a role instead! Funded by the Wimbledon Foundation’s new Arts and Community Engagement Fund (ACE), Arts Council England, Merton Council and the Samuel Gardner Memorial Trust, our Die Fledermaus production follows on from the success of our two previous Merton Street Operas Drifting Dragons and Cosi Fan Tutte. Like these previous productions, Die Fledermaus has been cut to approximately an hour, with a new modern English accessible libretto, and with the music re-written for 3 instruments suitable for promenade performance. The final production will take place in summer 2019 with scenes popping up along the high street and with the audience free to follow our characters down the street or just watch one scene. The music has some waltzes this time round so hope you’ll be waltzing down the high street with us!
On the 29th November at Wimbledon Theatre Studio we will be presenting a few scenes from our new adaptation, discussing our work and asking for your feedback (duration approximately an hour).
