Abstract
Strauss
«The music combined with the words certainly has a bombastic effect,» says soprano Diana Damrau in a conversation about Richard Strauss' opera Capriccio. The question of whether the music or the text is more decisive for the success of an opera is at the centre of Strauss' last opera. In the final monologue of Countess Madeleine, which Diana Damrau sings in this Philharmonic concert, the answer remains open... In addition to selected songs by Richard Strauss, the programme also includes Macbeth, his very first tone poem, and four interludes from the opera Intermezzo. General Music Director Gianandrea Noseda conducts the Philharmonia Zürich.
