North West Opera are delighted to announce that Anton Zapf will join them to conduct Strauss’s Die Fledermaus this November at An Grianán.
Anton has an amazing CV, working all over the world as an opera and concert conductor with over 60 orchestras in 15 countries. Also a composer for choir and orchestra, his works have been widely performed in Europe. He will be arriving in Donegal about 10 days prior to the opera to work intensively with the orchestra, soloists and chorus.
Die Fledermaus is a entertaining and colourful comedy set to wonderful music by Johann Strauss. The light-hearted plot follows 24 hours in the lives of a group of Viennese bourgeoisie centred around an elaborate plan for the revenge of The Bat. Disguises, hoaxes and abundant flirtation fuelled by copious amounts of champagne culminate in comical results.
