The mystery of time resonates throughout Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s highly spiritual and nostalgia-filled libretto, for which Richard Strauss – known until then as the avant-garde composer of Salome and Elektra – took a step back in time to the Vienna of the 18th century.

Director Damiano Michieletto sets this contemplation of the human psyche in a dreamworld, while Strauss’s wonderful score – one of the most refined in the entire repertoire – can fully blossom in the hands of conductor Alain Altinoglu.
