From the Hippodrome, Bristol,
Paul Guinery presents Welsh National Opera's production of Richard Strauss's opera. Set in 18th-century Vienna, Strauss's "comedy for music in three acts" is a tale of love among the aristocracy in youth and middle age. The complex strands of desire and duty work their way to a moving finale, and the opera concludes with one of the greatest lyrical outpourings in all opera.
Welsh National Opera Chorus and Orchestra, conductor Carlo Rizzi
