La chronique d'Eléonore :
Bayerische Staatsoper - 10 01 26
Die Fledermaus
I SIMPLY ADORED FANTASTIC EISENSTEIN
His "joie de vivre" closely associated with the joy of acting
My third performance.
Rolando had partners in the three performances as follows, the unique difference being :
Diana Damrau - Mrs. Eisenstein
Pavol Breslik - Alfredo
Marton Winkler - prison director
John Holiday - Prince Orlovsky
Konstantin Krimmel - dr. Falke
Mirjam Mesak - Adele
Miriam Neumaier - Ida
Kevin Conners - Dr. Blind
Max Pollak - Frog1
Conductor - Nicholas Carter
Orchestra and Chorus of the Bayerische Staatsoper
All three were the best, but this last one was somehow more than the best.
At every moment, the ambiance was at its highest, with an excellent audience who immediately responded to the singers' great jokes, enjoying their spontaneity that brought even more vitality to the performance. Rolando's words : "La cucaracha" were received with great laughter.
The staging offered all elements of a great situation comedy.
Humor came from a brilliant interaction of circumstances and personalities.
This time we had the marvellous Diana Damrau, with her well-known wonderful voice and sparkling sense of humor.
The orchestra and the chorus, under the direction of conductor Nicholas Carter, gave their best for this superb show!
And Rolando!!!
He was the absolute center of the whole evening, the whole performance with his immensely attractive singing and acting, and a genuine playing fully embodying the character, completely immersing in his role.
After the elegant tailcoat, the costume designer gave really funny costumes to Eisenstein : huge feathers on his headdress, shiny penties, but also brown coat, brown hat, glasses and long, checkered socks.
A truly seductive and elegant outfit 
: to the greatest delight of the audience who greeted all these details with enthusiastic joy.
: to the greatest delight of the audience who greeted all these details with enthusiastic joy. In the heartwarming melodies, THE VOICE was at its most beautiful, in its most caressing.
A deeply affecting "Brüderlein, Schwesterlein" conveying a sense of profound emotion.
Fabulous vocal beauty in all the other harmonious melodies sung by Eisenstein in duet, ensembles and during the final :
"Komm mit mir zum Souper"
"Dieser Anstand so manierlich"
"Ach, meine Herr'n und Damen"
"Im Feuerstrom der Reben"
At the end, the spectators sang together with the singers, and expressed their limitless enthusiastic appreciation and praise by a strong and long applause..
KÖSZÖNÖM, ROLANDO!
