San Diego Opera hints at collaboration with famed comic-book character
Der Fledermausmann?
Yes, please.
Scene from opera in Batman Begins
“Batman has always had an operatic quality about him,” says San Diego opera director of youth outreach Jim Kidd. “Child of privilege, parents murdered before his eyes. Goes mad, develops a terrifying alter ego, hunts criminals by night while playing the playboy by day. Really, it’s a wonder we didn’t think of it sooner. Of course, what finally set it in motion was director Christopher Nolan’s decision to send young Bruce Wayne and his parents to the opera to see Die Fledermaus — The Bat — instead of to the movies to see The Mark of Zorro, as he did in Frank Miller’s Dark Knight Returns. The people climbing around onstage dressed in bat costumes scared young Bruce, which led the family to leave early, which led to their murders. By making the Batman story itself into an opera, we’re closing the circle. We’ll keep you posted on our progress. I know San Diego doesn’t care much for new opera, but this has got to be more appealing than Nixon in China.”
