Festival

Easter Festival Baden-Baden 2023

It was to be a grand fairy tale, and the "last Romantic opera": Richard Strauss and the poet Hugo von Hofmannsthal dreamed up a monumental, dazzling musical drama for fin de siècle Vienna – Die Frau ohne Schatten. Kirill Petrenko, who will be conducting the cult opera in a new production, sees it as the Magic Flute of the 20th century. No wonder he chose this work to celebrate ten years of the Easter Festival with the Berliner Philharmoniker in Baden-Baden.

Programme
Richard Strauss: Vier letzte Lieder (Four Last Songs)
Richard Strauss: Ein Heldenleben
Overview

How long did musical Romanticism last? According to the general wisdom, up until Strauss’s Four Last Songs. What a swan song to a glorious 150 years! And to Strauss’s life itself, whose testament was this very piece – after having previously caricatured himself in Das Heldenleben. Strauss's Last Songs call for a “deluxe” soprano, who in “Spring” soars up from warm depths to brilliant heights as she vies with the solo violin and horn. In other words, we’re in for a treat! Diana Damrau, a regular guest at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, once appeared here as Sophie from Der Rosenkavalier, when, we quote, she offered up “pure Straussian bliss.”
