Die Frau Ohne Schatten, TrV 234
Opera in 3 Acts
Text by Hugo von Hofmannsthal

Not many masterpieces have premiered at the Vienna State Opera. Die Frau ohne Schatten – the fourth collaboration between Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal – is one of the few exceptions.

On the evening of 25 May 2019, a star-studded festival premiere of Richard Strauss’ Die Frau ohne Schatten took place at the Vienna State Opera to mark the 150th anniversary of the opera house’s opening. Together with his librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Richard Strauss and the director of the opera house at the time developed a fairytale, complex and psychologically discriminating work that received its world premiere a hundred years ago, on 10 October 1919 at the Opera on the Ring. Since then, Die Frau ohne Schatten has enjoyed a rich performance history and is regarded as a special highlight of Viennese and international music theatre.

Christian Thielemann, conductor of the opera, says about Richard Strauss: ‘He is the only composer I would have liked to meet in person.’
