Performance of Richard Strauss's final opera by the Metropolitan
Opera, conducted by Andrew Davis. Countess Madeleine is being
courted by poet Olivier and musician Flamand, but cannot make her
mind up between them. Meanwhile, her brother is in love with
Olivier's former mistress, Clairon, opposite whom he is to star in
a play commissioned for the Countess's birthday. As the story
progresses, the Countess's indecision over the two men courting her
provides a dramatic means to explore the relative importance of
music and words in opera. Renée Fleming stars.
