Fiddler on the Roof has music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and a book by Joseph Stein, which is based on Sholem Aleichem stories.
The production also has set design by Rufus Didwiszuz, original choreography by Otto Pichler, revival choreography by Silvano Marraffa, costume design by Klaus Bruns, original lighting design by Diego Leetz, and revival lighting design by Marco Philipp. The Lyric Opera Orchestra and Chorus is led by conductor Kimberly Grigsby in her Lyric debut; Michael Black is Lyric’s Chorus Master.
