History
Richard Strauss’s Die Frau ohne Schatten
Epic in musical scope and artistic imagination, Strauss and Hofmannsthal’s 1919 work makes extraordinary demands on its five leading singers, the orchestra, and the stage. The score is one of the composer’s richest and most evocative, reflecting the fantastical storyline that weaves together drama, fairy tale, and pure poetry.

Excellent!
I have a very high regard for Richard Strauss' operas. The score is arresting, the performers are first rate and the staging is non-conventional, but straight forward and easy to follow. I really enjoyed this performance and recommend it to others who enjoy Strauss' music.
