The new Sadler's Wells production.

[Box-out]
Die Fledermaus
The new Sadler's Wells production of the ever-popular operetta by Johann Strauss
Cast in order of appearance: [see below]

This is probably the greatest of all operettas for Johann Strauss's music bubbles over with boisterous jollity, like the King Champagne that flows so freely in the finale of the second act. This new Sadler's Wells production was an instant success and BBC-tv outside-broadcast cameras recorded it, complete, at the theatre earlier this year. The romantic waltzes and lively gallops capture the laughing Vienna of the 1870s, and the flirtatious Masked Ball is symptomatic of the moral attitude prevailing at the time. Ava June appears as Rosalinda, Jenifer Eddy as her maid Adele. and Emile Belcourt as Eisenstein her husband.
