Synopsis
One of the appeals of Richard Strauss's operas lies in the extent to which they involve the audience in a constantly changing point of view. The first three of the six operas written by Strauss with libretti by Hugo von Hofmannsthal are analyzed here in detail, always following the shifts in audience perception. Looking in this way at the artistic genius used to weave the pattern of audience locality brings insight into the complexities of the work as a whole. Musicians, music critics and theorists, as well as opera goers, should appreciate the examinations of "Elektra", "Der Rosenkavalier" and "Ariadne auf Naxos", which aim to increase the reader's awareness of all opera structure.
