A stellar cast was assembled: Patrice Munsel was then a star of the Metropolitan Opera, having sung more than a dozen roles with the company before the age of 27! Jarmila Novotna, the great Czech soprano, made her Metropolitan Opera debut in 1940, and sang with the company for sixteen seasons. Both Munsel and Novotna were acclaimed for their performances in the immensely successful Met production of Johann Strauss's Die Fledermaus, which showcased their talents as comic actresses as well as singers. The role of Hans Ebesteder is played by Bert Lahr, the popular star of vaudeville and radio who is best known for his film role as The Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz. Keith Andes is best known for his roles in such feature films as: The Farmer's Daughter, Clash by Night and Tora! Tora! Tora!
