Christopher Alden goes batty for the Canadian Opera Company's Die Fledermaus

Stanley Fefferman, 4th October

It took me a while to warm to director Christopher Alden’s revisionist production of Johann Strauss II’s chestnut and whipped cream torte of an operetta, but gradually the outrageous battiness of it won me over.The story that Alden and his team fashion into a Freudian farce with touches of Bram Stoker goes like this.
