Director Orpha Phelan returns to Malmö Opera with Fiddler on the Roof which is as relevant and poignant today as when it was first created. Having previously directed Jenůfa and The Tales of Hoffmann in 2011, and La Bohème in 2014 with the Malmö Opera, her latest production opens with outstanding success.
Performances run until January 2018.
You can see the trailer here, and a selection of photos from the production here.
