Musical by J. Stein/J.Bock/S.Harnick. World premiere on September 22, 1964 at the Broadway Imperial Theatre. Premiere at the Estonian National Opera on June 3, 2016.

“Fiddler on the Roof” was first staged at the Estonian National Opera in 1989 by Georg Malvius, earning the title “Theatrical event of the year”. At the time when Estonia was regaining its independence from the Soviet Union, the story of a small Jewish village suffering from the oppression of great powers and fighting for its existence, was of great significance. 27 years later, Georg Malvius brings the fiddler back to the Estonian National Opera, retelling the story of the dairyman Tevye and the colourful life in the village of Anatevka.
