R. Strauss - The Woman without Shadow

Richard Strauss’ 1919 opera The Woman without a Shadow (Die Frau ohne Schatten) requires huge forces, boasting what’s perhaps Strauss’s most sumptuous score. The music poignantly illuminates the magic, mystery and earthy warmth of Hugo von Hofmannsthal's characters. Russian conductor Valery Gergiev leads this epic production from Saint Petersburg’s famed Mariinsky Theatre. Two British artists – director Jonathan Kent and designer Paul Brown – collaborate to bring this spectacular and opulent dramatic tour de force to life, radiantly evoking the contrasts between the spirit world and human existence. Filmed in the historic Mariinsky Theatre in 2011, Die Frau ohne Schatten stars tenor Avgust Amonov as The Emperor, Mlada Khudoley as The Empress, Olga Savova as The Nurse.
