“A brilliant stroke lights up the evening. As Papo (down from the roof) plays his fiddle, he swings himself close to, then spirals away from Dannheisser. He becomes the spirit of the piece and its characters: intimate and uncatchable, lingering long in the air.”

A theatrical triumph, the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre’s completely sold-out electrifying Fiddler On The Roof transfers to London this summer in what is set to be the theatre event of 2025.
Fiddler on the Roof up for 13 Olivier awards
“It is nominated for set and costume design (both by Tom Scutt), lighting design (Aideen Malone), theatre choreographer (Julia Cheng), sound design (Nick Lidster), outstanding musical contribution (Mark Aspinall), director (Jordan Fein) and best musical revival. It also has nominations in every acting category for musicals, with nods for Adam Dannheisser who plays Tevye, the Jewish milkman (best actor), Lara Pulver (best actress), Liv Andrusier and Beverley Klein (up against each other for best actress in a supporting role) and Raphael Papo (best actor in a supporting role).”

In this Raw + Rising episode, Joshua sits down with Raphael Papo, a classically trained violinist and entrepreneur straddling Berlin and London. Raphael’s work is as interdisciplinary as it is intriguing, spanning his performance in Fiddler on the Roof at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, an unforgettable nude appearance at the real-life Kit Kat Club, and his mission to integrate classical music into corporate and educational spaces.
