Movie Reviews of Johann Strauss - Die Fledermaus / Domingo, Te Kanawa, Prey, Royal Opera Covent Garden
Movie Review: A tale of revenge
Summary: 5 Stars
I do not want to go into the details of the story encase this is your first introduction to "Die Fledermaus" by Johann Straus. However it is a lighthearted tale about a man Dr. Falke "Her Dr. Fledermaus" (BenJamin Luxom) getting back in his friend Gabriel von Eisenstein (Hermann Prey) for an embarrassing moment. The story starts off quite simple and gets more complex as it goes turning into a farce, than a bit of slapstick, than into a revelation, and the last laugh.
This is my favorite version of the story is all of the people in here are well known today. During the second act they even deviate from the story to allow a lot of the individual performers to perform individually such as Dame Hilda Bracket & Dr. Evadne Hinge sing "Three Little Maids" from the Mikado, and Charles Aznavour "She"; it is a fun break. Even the conductor, Placido Domingo, gets a chance to enter back here and in several other parts of the play.

Summary of Johann Strauss - Die Fledermaus / Domingo, Te Kanawa, Prey, Royal Opera Covent Garden
Kiri Te Kanawa is featured in this glittering Covent Garden Opera production of Johann Strauss' masterpiece. Placido Domingo conducts the Royal Opera House Orchestra and Chorus. Other soloists include Hermann Prey, Hildegard Heichele, Benjamin Luxon.Most opera houses ring in the New Year with Johann Strauss Jr.'s most popular operetta--the festiveness of which is appropriate for the occasion--and this December 31, 1983, Covent Garden performance follows suit. An exceptional cast--led by Hermann Prey and Kiri Te Kanawa as the couple whose marriage survives the comic indiscretions of three long acts--obviously has as much fun as the audience. Pl?cido Domingo leads the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House through its paces with panache. Prince Orlofsky's Act II party is always a splendid opportunity to pull out all the stops with surprise "guests," and this performance makes the most of its chance: entering the proceedings to sing one of his tailor-made chansons, "She," is French crooner Charles Aznavour, who is followed by dancers Merle Park and Wayne Eagling, their delightful pas de deux flashily choreographed by Sir Frederick Ashton. --Kevin Filipski
