“Richly deserves the thunderous applause. . .A refreshing nod to traditionalism in this world of minimalism. . .Sparkling productions.”

“The Carl Rosa Opera company performance was the most thrilling and delightful I have experienced in
60 years of opera going…the singing moved between very good and superb. . .brilliantly acted and moved with precision of a trained corps de ballet. . .”

“. . .after last night’s opening performance of Die Fledermaus, I have to say Strauss wins hands down.
The dazzling staging with a new translated part for narrator Ranjit Bolt is an absolutely delightful piece
of theatre . . . Die Fledermaus is full of wonderful music and it was beautifully brought to dashing life last
night. This production is thoroughly recommended.”

‘. . .the Carl Rosa Opera add a certain extra ingredient in their production that somehow makes you
feel that they treat it with respect, without reducing its entertainment value. . . the singing is, as
you would expect from such a company as Carl Rosa, tremendous.
Soloists and chorus have a full and true sound, backed by an orchestra that gives an authentic Strauss-like lilt to their playing. Visually,
too, the productions is a treat, especially the party gowns from Act II; 19th-century designs were used
as the basis for these creations.’
