Johann Strauss’ Die Fledermaus, Gala Charity Operetta at Dorsett Grand Subang

Die Fledermaus

SUBANG Jaya, Malaysia, 6 September 2013 – Dorsett Grand Subang, managed by Dorsett Hospitality International (HKEx Stock Code 2266) is proud to present a gala charity operetta entitled “Die Fledermaus” at Grand Selangor Ballroom on 4 October 2013 from 8.30 pm – 11.00 pm; part of the proceeds raised from this event will be channeled to Kiwanis Club of Bukit Kiara in support of the foundations’ continuous service to the community-at-large.

Poised to be a high profile gala charity event in Malaysia, Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss is a famous European stage musical comedy operetta in 3 acts.

Themed “Now Everyone Can Bat”, the prologue of the musical tells the story of how Dr Falke was hideously embarrassed by his best friend Gabriel Eisenstein when left naked in the centre of town with only his mask to cover his crown jewels after a drunken fancy masked ball. This hideous embarrassment in front of the whole town requires revenge! The stage is thus set for the ‘Revenge of the Bat’! Sung in English, the stage will be glamorously decorated according to 1920’s Australian Art Decoration.

You can expect a lot of fun, mayhem and lots of champagne on stage during the musical.
