DVD-Y355 Strauss j Fledermaus 1977 londres VIDEO

Here is the full cast and date information for the Die Fledermaus video just uploaded by Erichkornau, which I had already taken down from my copy of the video:

J.Strauss, Jr. - Die Fledermaus filmed by Metromedia/BBC- 2 Covent Garden, Dec. 31, 1977 Zubin Mehta, conductor Tony Randall, host

Rosalinde - Kiri Te Kanawa Eisenstein - Hermann Prey Alfred - Ryszard Karczykowski Adele - Hildegard Heirghele Orlofsky - Robert Tear Falke - Benjamin Luxon Frank - Michael Langdon Dr. Blind - Paul Crook Ida - Kate Gielgud Ivan - Richard Hazell Frosch - Josef Meinrad

( the dialog is in a very strange mixture of German and English (and a some French), changing back and forth for comic effect. It's seems based mostly on the native tongue of each singer.)

Act II guests - pianist Daniel Barenboim (Chopin: Ballade in G minor); violinist Isaac Stern (Mendelssohn Violin Concerto - third movement); dancers Merle Parke & Wayne Eagling(Fruhlingsst immen by J. Strauss - choreographed by Frederick Ashton)
