Capriccio

Synopsis

From the San Francisco Opera 1993: Dame Kiri Te Kanawa has made the role of the Countess in Capriccio her own and her performance in Stephen Lawless's San Francisco Opera production met with high critical praise. Her suitors are sung by David Kuebler and Simon Keenlyside and the cast also includes Tatiana Troyanos in her last role, Håkan Hagegård and Victor Braun. Richard Strauss's opera about opera is set in the eighteenth century and the period is evoked poetically in Mauro Pagano's exquisite salon set and Thierry Bosquet's lavish costumes. (Sung in German)
