Book Description
R. STRAUSS: Arabella (complete opera) Newly translated libretto, program notes, and synopsis. Link to audio tracks.
Arabella was first heard in 1933. A kind of sequel to Der Rosenkavalier of 1911, it was to take its place as one of Richard Strauss’s more popular operas, thanks to its good-natured story and pleasing, romantic music. Originally conceived as an operetta in the style of Lehár, it blended together features of operetta, opera, and musical theater. This live broadcast from 1973 features great singers in a crackling performance.
Montserrat Caballé, Siegmund Nimsgern, René Kollo, Kurt Moll, Oralia Dominguez: vocal soloists/RAI Orchestra & Chorus, Rome/Wolfgang Rennert: conductor
