| Description |
Since its premiere in 1905, this opera has fascinated musicians and entertained and startled the public. It remains an extraordinary work, even to the audiences of our time: its harmonic complexity and dazzling orchestration retain their power to astonish. It still sounds contemporary in 2020, 115 years after its first performances.
The virtuosic technique of Strauss is always at the service of the drama and storytelling. It is never an end in itself, but inseparable from the theatrical inspiration and dramatic purpose of the text: a German translation by Hedwig Lachmann of Oscar Wilde’s play |
