Strauss’s Capriccio — New production

From 26 May 2011 (Expected running time: 2hrs 45mins)

On Opening Night of the 2008-09 season, Renée Fleming dazzled audiences when she sang the final scene of Strauss’s wise and worldly meditation on art and life. Now she performs the entire work, in which the composer explores the essence of opera itself. Matthew Polenzani and Sarah Connolly also star, and Andrew Davis conducts.
