While I am generally in favor of modern stagings, this one just tries to be disgusting and provocative at every possible step. To me this reveals just a total lack of respect for the music and the original story-telling. So, in terms of staging this one deserves just one star, but I double it to two, because the musical direction by Marc Minkowski is simply excellent, easily the best since Carlos Kleiber, and some of the singers are excellent as well, except for the Orlofski, who is bellowing instead of singing, another meaningless provocation.

To me Die Fledermaus is the best operetta. One really has to work hard to mess it up. This version however is horrific. The funny thing though is that some of the music and singing is very good. The young lady that plays Adele is excellent. The lady that plays Frosch I never could figure out, Eisenstein was a fat sweaty mess, Frank spent most his time holding Eisenstein"s hand or kissing him on the lips. Prinz Orlofsky spent a good part of his time snorting cocaine. The Eisenstein's son and daughter perform a simulated sex act on the floor and in the third act the son shoots his sister and then shoots himself in the head. The Donner und Blitz segment in this version end up with one of male dancers beating and kicking one of the female dancers. By this time I thought it couldn't get any worst, but I was wrong, Adele gets raped after singing Spiel ich die Unschuld vom Lande in the third act. Will never watch again.
