Herheim’s Fledermaus is a risky experiment that, miraculously, works – at least in a city that knows it so intimately.

Eye-popping, hand-drawn animation melds with Mozart's fantastical world and the silent film era to create a colorful and energetic new-to-Seattle production.  

Although Bard's production is only intermittently successful, the chance to hear this Korngold rarity live should be savored.
