Das BRSO und Paul Daniel setzten drei Werke aufs Programm, die jedes auf seine spezielle Weise extreme klangliche Welten erkundet.

A fine singing cast gives creditable performances in Johann Stauss II's most famous operetta, but Paul Curran's updating of Act 2 to 1930s Berlin takes the fizz out of the Champagne.

In a setting that might be The Grange itself, a production which steadily tightens its grip until a blistering finish.
