“It’s never easy to revisit the approach to great musical masterpieces marked by so many scenic and musical traditions! But this video of the Bavarian State Opera’s production of Johann Strauß’s famous Die Fledermaus does exactly that, both scenically and musically. Barrie Kosky’s staging is great operetta fun, with great design ideas that cannot be surpassed in opulence and color. Vladimir Jurowski unfolds the full splendor of the music. And so stage and orchestra, acting and singing merge into pure operetta bliss at the highest level.”
