- Summary:
- "A sumptuous fantasy out of some grand hotel of the Belle Epoch"--this was one critic's comment when this production of the most Viennese of all operettas opened at the Met. Staged by Vienna's own Otto Schenk (who also does a star turn as the jailer Frosch), with gorgeous sets and costumes by Günther Schneider-Siemssen and Peter J. Hall, it's the essence of a carefree, slightly naughty take on the myth of the Imperial city by the Danube. Of course it helps to have an all-star cast: from Tatiana Troyanos's arch, smoldering Prince Orlofsky to Kiri Te Kanawa's dreamy, elegant Rosalinde to Judith Blegen's pert Adele. No wonder all the men involved are completely smitten--and everybody is having the time of their lives.
