Richard Strauss' Intermezzo at the Concertgebouw
About the Event
Delight in Strauss' 'bourgeois comedy'. Replete with luscious musical lines that have seen the work become a favorite of legendary sopranos such as Dame Felicity Lott and Renée Fleming, this concert performance is an ideal way to make the acquaintance of Herr Storch and his wife, Christine — characters Strauss based on himself and his wife, Pauline.
German soprano Christiane Kohl and British baritone Stephen Gadd embody the composer and his wife, while the remainder of the cast is drawn from the young talents the celebrated conductor David Zinman has dedicated his career to promoting.
