I missed the Vienna Staatsoper Die Fledermaus with prehistoric costumes (Schenk)  but heard the MET Die Fledermaus in the new production by Jeremy Sams which looks wonderful on stills. Pity about the spoken dialogue, which was strained and arch, like  a bad sitcom. Awful singing - far too self conscious.  Perhaps it's a cultural thing. In Europe, humour and art are subversive. That's why Karajan and Kleiber are so good - they  bring out the tension and savagery in the operetta. Au fond, Die Fledermaus is not frothy kitsch. Alcohol loosens inhibitions. Beware!
