Glyndebourne’s pulsating production of the Waltz King’s much-loved comic operetta. This disc includes outstanding performances from a cast led by Pamela Armstrong, Thomas Allen, Ragnar Ulfung and Håkan Hagegård with The Glyndebourne Chorus and the London Philharmonic Orchestra under Vladimir Jurowski. Filmed in High Definition.

"Here is a perfect example of the quality of Glyndebourne opera. A classic yet inventive staging of a work without stars but composed of excellent singer-actors ... Thomas Allen is a perfect bourgeois cad...and the young Vladimir Jurowski confirms his talent as conductor in a brilliant rendition of Strauss' marvellous music." (Le Monde de la Musique)

"Malena Ernman is a stunning Orlofsky (at the end, Lawless reveals that the prince was really a princess after all), and Håkan Hagegård and Pamela Armstrong are very satisfying as Dr. Falke and Rosalinde, respectively. Lyubov Petrova is a charmer, both visually and musically ... The set is spectacular, particularly in Act Two, where the use of a rotating stage creates a movie-like effect." (Classical Net)
