By a happy chance, I happened to be in Munich at the end of December 1974 and so was able to attend the final rehearsals for this new production of Die Fledermaus. The most striking aspect of it, apart from its overall excellence, was the conducting of Carlo Kleiber. It was immediately apparent that he took the musical direction of this operetta vey seriously indeed. He was very tough on the orchestra in particular. For instance at one point when rehearsing the opening chords of the Overture, he insisted with great vehemence on the orchestra playing with what he called 'a Ballo secco' - in other words the highly clipped and staccato playing required at the opening of the second act of Verdi's Un Ballo In Maschera. The overall result was amazing - Strauss's score came up newly minted and sounding better than ever.
