Commentaires : On April 5th 1874 Vienna’s Theater an der Wien saw the premiere of “Die Fledermaus” with music by Johann Strauss II. It was based on a French play by Meilhac & Halevy and set to a German libretto by Karl Haffner & Richard Genee. It was soon recognised as the greatest of all Viennese operettas to date and it remains the golden standard by which all other operettas are measured even today.
By the end of that same year it had been performed in New York, and it first appeared in London at the Alhambra on December 18th 1876 in a rather heavily adapted version. In the early years of the 20th Century it began to appear in the repertoire of the world’s great opera houses, and was first performed at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in 1931.
In 1942 the famous German director, Max Reinhardt, staged a revival on Broadway under the title “Rosalinda”, and this was a triumph, running for 502 performances. This version, with musical arrangements by Erich Korngold was adapted for London by Austin Melford and Rudolf Bemauer - and was a great success, running for a year, closing on March 2nd 1946.

Commentaires longs: This was the same production which had ended its year long run at the Palace just five months earlier and had been on a highly successful provincial tour ever since. It was back in London for a six week season before returning to its tour. There had been a number of cast changes since the original production, and the orchestra was now conducted by Michael Collins and not Richard Tauber.
