Darf man sein eigenes Lebensglück auf dem Unglück anderer bauen? Das ist das zentrale Thema der Frau ohne Schatten, einer der rätselhaftesten und faszinierendsten Opern von Richard Strauss: Die Ehefrau des Kaisers, Tochter eines mächtigen Geisterfürsten, braucht einen Schatten, um ihren Mann vor der Versteinerung zu retten und um Kinder bekommen zu können. Um das zu erreichen, muss sie einer armen Färberin Schatten und Fruchtbarkeit abkaufen … Nach Aufführungen in Baden-­Baden dirigiert Kirill Petrenko Strauss’ klangprächtiges psychologisches Drama konzertant in der Philharmonie Berlin.
