  • LONDON UNATTACHED - ANDREW LOHMANN

    “In Guildhall School of Music and Drama’s new production of Die Fledermaus, revelry was in no short supply. Directed by Ashley Dean it was a masterpiece of consummate joy from start to finish.”

    OPERA TODAY - ALEXANDER HALL

    “Right at the start of the Guildhall School’s new production of this fizzy froth of fun, there is an ingenious link to one of the most successful musicals of the modern age, Cabaret.  Before the overture concludes, Dr Falke himself bounds down the stairs of the auditorium and in true conférencier mode greets the audience with those memorable words, “Willkommen, Guten Abend, meine Damen und Herren”. A sideways glance at Offenbach, one of the greatest purveyors of light opera, sees the members of the chorus dancing the can-can under a slightly raised curtain before receiving tickets to the grand party Dr Falke has organised… This sparkling production delivers not only an evening of high-class fun with its tale of mistaken identities and illicit liaisons, but is also testament to the quality of the combined Guildhall forces. It would not disgrace many a more luminous theatrical stage elsewhere.”
