Spoken

When he was 78 Richard Strauss wrote a discours à l’art pour l’art, called Capriccio, in which artists and aristocrats argue in light-footed Parlando style with wit and poignancy about the merits of music and words in opera. The composer Flamand and poet Olivier, vying for arts-smitten countess Madeleine, personificate the argument. His “Conversation Piece for Music”, with stylistic side glances at Mozart and Wagner - Strauss' orienteering stars - turns into a reflection on what or how opera was, is and could be. Brigitte Fassbaender‘s take on events that could have taken place in Paris in 1775, plays out in set and costumes by Johannes Leiacker inspired by the times when the work was composed: the 1940s – a time when the German national socialists’ cultural politics, even in France, was to entertain more than anything else - much like Strauss's last work for the stage, Capriccio.
