Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss II is a modernized version of the
popular operetta that combines the talents of the College's classically
trained vocalists with some of its more contemporary rock & rollers.
Strauss' music, played by orchestra members of the Catskill Symphony, will
underscores a rollicking story of sex, lies, and revenge.
For the Valentine's Day Opera Ball, a catered dinner buffet with
champagne and cash bar will be served during intermission and the second act
of the opera. The ball will follow the performance with dessert and dancing
