Strauss: Die Fledermaus [Blu-ray]

undefined

Glyndebourne's pulsating new production of the Waltz King's much-loved comic operetta. This DVD includes outstanding performances from a cast led by Pamela Armstrong, Thomas Allen, Ragnar Ulfung and Håkan Hagegård with The Glyndebourne Chorus and the London Philharmonic Orchestra under Vladimir Jurowski. Filmed in High Definition. Press Reviews "Here is a perfect example of the quality of Glyndebourne opera. A classic yet inventive staging of a work without stars but composed of excellent singer-actors...Thomas Allen is a perfect bourgeois cad...and the young Vladimir Jurowski confirms his talent as conductor in a brilliant rendition of Strauss' marvellous music." (Le Monde de la Musique) "Malena Ernman is a stunning Orlofsky (at the end, Lawless reveals that the prince was really a princess after all), and Håkan Hagegård and Pamela Armstrong are very satisfying as Dr. Falke and Rosalinde, respectively. Lyubov Petrova is a charmer, both visually and musically...The set is spectacular, particularly in Act Two, where the use of a rotating stage creates a movie-like effect.
