Description
The new production in June 2004 was a huge success in Paris because of the illustrious cast, especially Renee Fleming in the role of countess. She sung this part for the first time and impressed the audience with her exceptional voice and stage presence. She will sing the role also at the Met in 2006/07.
The other singers, Anne Sofie von Otter, Rainer Trost, Gerald Finley, Dietrich Henschel and Franz Hawlata, are all idiomatic and beautifully singing, so that the performance was regarded as an ideal interpretation of Richard Strauss' last opera by the French press. Ulf Schirmer is a German conductor, who is regularly appearing at the Paris Opera, the Deutsche Oper Berlin or the Vienna State Opera and recorded the same opera with Kiri Te Kanawa on Decca. Stage director Robert Carsen created a luxurious stage with colourful costumes, which links up the tradition with the modern chic.
