Richard Strauss
b. 6-11-1864; Munich, Germany
d. 9-8-1949; Garmisch-Partenkirchen

Richard Strauss, a composer of the late Romantic and early modern eras, particularly of operas, Lieder and tone poems, was also a prominent conductor.

Richard Strauss was the son of Franz Strauss, an accomplished musician and his son's music teacher. Strauss' wife was opera soprano Pauline Maria de Ahna (1863-1950).

Strauss' apparent cooperation with the Nazis, who came to power in the 1930s, was an effort to protect his Jewish daughter-in-law and grandchildren. He was unable to protect her family.

Ariadne Auf Naxos, an opera in two parts called the Prologue and the Opera, was originally conceived as a “thirty-minute divertissement performed at the end of a Hugo Von Hofmannsthal adaptation of Molière's five act comedie-ballet-play Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme.

In Greek myth Ariadne is the daughter of King Minos of Crete, helped Theseus over throw the Minotaur (her brother), and bride of the god Dionysus.


In the opera Ariadne is abandoned on an island by Theseus and rescued by the god Bacchus (the Roman named for the Greek Dionysus), all with a group of comic performers lead by singer Zerbinetta telling Ariadne to get over Theseus and go with the love of Bacchus.

Der Rosenkavalier (The Knight of the Rose) is a comic opera in three acts by Richard Strauss to an original German libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal.

The Knight of the Rose is the one who delivers a silver rose to a woman in behalf of friend who wants to court the lady - in this case the lady and the knight fall for one another and hilarity ensues.

Richard Strauss used author Oscar Wilde's play Salome as inspiration for his 1905 opera of the same name.










FYI ~
• Strauss considered Finnish soprano Aino Ackté the “one and only Salome”.
• The opera Herodiade (1881) based on a novella by Gustave Flaubert, inspired a less violent retelling of the John the Baptist story by composer Jules Massenet.
