[Coverage] JOHANN STRAUSS' DIE FLEDERMAUS,
GALA CHARITY MUSICAL COMEDY AT DORSETT GRAND SUBANG
Subang Jaya, 4 October 2013 – Glitter and glam filled the night with more
than 700 guests who watched Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss. Themed,
"Revenge of the Bat", the gala charity musical comedy by Johann
Strauss' "Die Fledermaus" was presented by Dorsett Grand Subang, and produced by Co-opera together with Showtime Asia as the co-producer.
"This is our first
time bringing world renowned musical comedy, Die Fledermaus to Dorsett Grand
Subang and to Malaysia. With this charity musical event, we hope to raise some
funds for Kiwanis Club of Mount Kiara." said Datin Jasmine Abdullah Heng,
Vice Chairman of Dorsett Hospitiality International who is also a Board
Director of the Kiwanis Club of Bukit Kiara.
Summary of
the story:
The musical tells the
story of how Dr Falke was hideously embarassed by his best friend Gabriel
Eisenstein when left naked in the centre of town with only his mask to cover
his crown jewels after a drunken fancy masked ball. The hideous embarassment in
front of the whole town requires revenge!
Awesome
Performance with Magnificent Orchestra!
The show started at around 9.00pm and it was then divided into a
few segments with a few breaks in between. It was a show with impressive stage performance
and also great musical orchestration by wonderful group of musicians. The orchestra
group was placed right in front of the stage. When the orchestra started to
perform the musical pieces, the audience was already mesmerized by it. But all
the audience was even more delighted when they got to see the stage performers
singing with top-notch vocal that can enthrall you.
Great acting
with comedic effect!
All of the actors have performed well on stage with not only their
vocals but also with their acting too. The casts have put up a great show with
convincing acting as well as comedic facial expression that has brought many joy
and laughter to the crowd. One of my favorite characters in the show was the Alfredo (played by Alberto Abate). For
me, his acting was great enough to make me laugh every time he appeared. Of course,
all the other performers were spectacular too.
Impressive
Vocals that amazed the crowd!
Without using the microphones, the performers can still sing very
loud and clear while moving around and acting on the stage. Besides, there were
a few songs in the musical comedy that hit very high pitch, but some of the performers
especially Adele (played by Sara Lambert) and Rosalinde (played by Lynette Harris) were able to deliver those difficult
notes effortlessly. When they sang the high notes, the crowd was impressed and
gave them a big round of applause for the wonderful singing.
Great
Setting for the show!
Besides the show, the setting for the show has enhanced the
experience as Dorsett Grand Subang
grand ballroom was a glamorous venue for this spectacular performance. The
lighting during the show was great and was able to illuminate the stage very
well for the audience to view.
The Crowd
Loves The Musical Comedy!
The charity musical comedy has gained many positive reception and
overwhelming response from the public when the show had a full-house
attendance. "The crowd was great! We are glad that they have enjoyed the
show as much as we had!" said Frank Ford AM, the Director of Die
Fledermaus, who is also part of Co-Opera.
