Was very good. Very amusing and the vocals were superb. As a first foray into opera I am glad I went. Beware of pranks coming back to haunt you! The merry folk of Wimbledon did not fail to please either. They are a funny lot! Lucky for me I can scuttle off at the end and return to the wrong side of the SW19 tracks!
Theatre Notes: One of the world's most famous operettas, Die Fledermaus, now gets a glittering new look from the country's best small-scale opera and operetta company.
Opera della Luna have earned themselves a matchless reputation, this year celebrating 15 years of acclaimed productions of Gilbert and Sullivan and Offenbach. They now turn their hand to the waltz king Johann Strauss and this most sparkling of scores.
Dr Falke was once left to wander home, drunk and dressed as a bat, by his friend Gabriel von Eisenstein. To exact his revenge he arranges for Eisenstein to attend an extremely risqué party at the home of the outrageous Russian aristocrat, Pince Orlofsky. There, Eisenstein seduces a mysterious Hungarian countess, who is in fact his own wife in disguise.
This entirely new and saucy production is directed by Jeff Clarke (with his own new translation) and designed by Gabriella Csanyi-Wills - the team that created the company's wonderful recent production of The Mikado.
