Glyndebourne presents the opera by Richard Strauss
Richard Strauss and his wife Pauline had a tempestuous but nevertheless close and loving marriage that lasted 55 years until Strauss died in 1949. Their relationship is portrayed in this delightful opera which ranges from comic melodrama to passionate ecstasy and the central incident of the opera is based on an event which actually occurred.
