"Casting a stark spotlight on today’s rather more abstracted realities, Toronto City Opera shifts Die Fledermaus into the post-pandemic, seemingly indelible Trumpian-stained era with a clever, thoughtful adaptation of Strauss’ enduring classic. A stylish, keen-eyed perspective on unbridled power, privilege and egregious self-indulgence set in the buzzy chaos of midtown Manhattan, this Fledermaus flies high, inventively staged, superbly well sung."
