December 21 – Cedar Rapids Opera

by

Guest: Katie Stuelke, Marketing and Office Manager at Cedar Rapids Opera

Johann Strauss’s effervescent operetta Die Fledermaus enters a realm of luck, luxury, and laughter as Cedar Rapids Opera’s mainstage January 2026 production.

Die Fledermaus plunges the audience into a world of chance and intrigue, where fortunes—and secrets—are gambled away. Prince Orlofsky’s soirée becomes a grand night filled with masked players, shimmering gowns, and a live orchestra bringing the atmosphere to life.

Two performances at the Paramount Theatre, January 16 and 18.
