Die Frau ohne Schatten: Scenic Glimpses

Anne Schwanewilms

On the occasion of the dress rehearsal of Die Frau ohne Schatten today, we are delighted to present a glimpse of the new production of Richard Strauss’ masterwork.

The concept of Christof Loy, the background of the story of Die Frau ohne Schatten, music and libretto of Strauss’ composition feature in our cross-section on film, as well as the personal relationships of the singers with the work.

Die Frau ohne Schatten is a very special work, demanding a high level of intensity from all those involved. This opera – filled with great, dramatic and at the same time very intimate moments – will captivate you. Listen to Anne Schwanewilms, Evelyn Herlitzius, Michaela Schuster and Wolfgang Koch share their thoughts about it.
