A lively story about love, deception and good-natured revenge, the opera will be staged at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday (Feb. 27-28) in Kobacker Hall of the Moore Musical Arts Center. Tickets are $8, $10 and $12 at the center box office (2-8171). “Die Fledermaus” will also feature members of the Bowling Green Philharmonia, conducted by Emily Freeman Brown. BGSU’s production will be sung in English under the direction of Eugene Dybdahl.
