Die Fledermaus


TICKETS (click link) for Die Fledermaus on sale NOW!!! Note: March 16 is a pay-as-you-want performance.

Join Juneau Lyric Opera for a fully staged production of Johann Strauss’ comedic masterpiece, Die Fledermaus—a sparkling return to the operetta that launched JLO in 1975!

Follow Gabriel von Eisenstein as he’s lured to a dazzling masquerade ball, where mistaken identities and clever disguises—including his wife as a mysterious Hungarian countess—set the stage for a night of hilarious chaos. Will this whirlwind of champagne, deception, and mischief lead to forgiveness? Join us to find out!

Directed by Kathleen Wayne and conducted by William Todd Hunt, this lively show promises dazzling music, humor, and a glamorous party scene. We’re thrilled to welcome back renowned tenor David Canglosi as Gabriel von Eisenstein.

Bring the whole family for their first (or fiftieth!) opera performance on March 14 and 15 at 7:00PM and March 16 at 3:00 PM at JDHS.

Beer Choir – Planned Events


Join the choir that sings while drinking beer!

Join us at Devil’s Club Brewing Company to lift your voices (and glasses) in song. Encouraged by our song leaders, Richard Moore and Luke Weld, you’ll BECOME the choir that sings while drinking beer.

Grab a Beer Choir “Hymnal”—the songbook that will guide the evening—and a pint and get ready to join in on traditional drinking songs, popular tunes, hymns, and choruses. You don’t need to love choral music, or even sing well, to enjoy Beer Choir—all you need to do is show up!

We just became the first Alaskan chapter of the national Beer Choir organization – so we can continue bringing you beer choir festivities all year long! Cheers!

Friday, March 21 – Shamrock Jig
Friday, May 2 – Drunken Sailor Sea Shanties
