	Die Frau ohne Schatten - Wikipedia
		Gleich fünf enorme Hauptpartien (Kaiser, Kaiserin, Färber, Färbersfrau, Amme) und ein sehr großes Orchester sowie die verschiedenen Wirklichkeits/Traumdarstellungen auf der Bühne machen die Oper auch heute noch zu einer Herausforderung für größere Opernhäuser.
		Die Färbersfrau, ebenso unglücklich wie die Kaiserin, wird von dieser und der Amme umworben, sie soll den Schatten und die ungeborenen Kindern gegen Reichtum abgeben.
		In der Rezeption ist Die Frau ohne Schatten ohne Zweifel eine der bedeutendsten Opern von Strauss, ohne die Vorgänger Elektra und Salome wäre eine solche Handlung, ein solches Ausdruckspotenzial nicht möglich gewesen.

	Die Frau ohne Schatten - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Die Frau ohne Schatten (The Woman without a Shadow) is an opera by Richard Strauss with a German libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal.
		While not initially as popular as some of his other operas, many people today think it to be his finest work in the genre.
		The five principal roles in Die Frau ohne Schatten border on unsingable in their extraordinary vocal demands, which perhaps contributes to the rarity of performances.

		Die Kaiserin ist die Tochter des Geisterfürsten Keikobad, gehört aber trotz ihrer Heirat nicht ganz zu den Menschen, weil sie keinen Schatten, das Symbol der Menschennatur und Fruchtbarkeit, besitzt.
		Die Kaiserin beschliesst, sich bei den Menschen einen Schatten zu erwerben, um sich und ihren Mann zu retten.
		Die Kaiserin betritt den Tempel, um sich dem Urteil ihres Vaters zu stellen, die Amme wird zur Strafe für ihr Verhalten zu den verhassten Menschen geschickt.

	STRAUSS Die Frau Ohne Schatten
		The occasion was so successful it led to a new staging of Frau during opening weeks of the rebuilt Staatsoper in November 1955 shortly after which conductor and cast, in their eagerness to have the work recorded, agreed to do so without fee.
		The cast is promising: Deborah Voight as the Empress, Ben Heppner The Emperor, Hanna Schwarz (again) as the Nurse, Franz Grundheber as Barak and Sabine Hass as his wife, with the Dresden State Opera Chorus and Orchestra directed by the late Giuseppe Sinopoli.
		Those who feel Die Frau ohne Schatten is a very special work surely will wish to investigate the new Golden Melodram issue of "bleeding hunks" from the opera in spite of the premium price and dated sound.

	David Gregson's Opera West
		Although Richard Strauss's Die Frau ohne Schatten must certainly qualify as one of the rarer items in the standard operatic repertory, this writer has encountered it with amazing frequency during a lifetime of opera-going: Twice in San Francisco and New York, and once in Los Angeles and London.
		For one thing, Die Frau ohne Schatten is a major "conductor's opera," not to mention a prime vehicle for testing the imaginations and creative skills of set, costume and lighting designers.
		The intellectual content of Die Frau is feeble, and I would even question the book's literary merit, despite von Hofmannsthal's nearly sacrosanct status in the operatic world.

		Of enormous interest is another discontinued set, the first recording made of the "complete" Frau, recorded in 1955 after a series of Vienna State Opera performances.
		Another Frau essential in any Strauss opera collection as it is the only currently available complete recording is London's with Sir Georg Solti conducting, reportedly the most expensive recording ever made.
		Recorded in 1989 and 1991, it was a major project of the Hungarian conductor whose love of the opera is apparent throughout.

	classical music - andante - wilsonian ideals, applied to strauss
		Hugo von Hofmannsthal's libretto is riddled with symbolic characters — a singing falcon, a one-eyed peasant, an emperor who turns to stone and a waterfall that appears and disappears out of nowhere, not to mention the titular woman without a shadow — so many, in fact, that the opera needs lots of directorial sympathy.
		Of the four Die Frau ohne Schatten productions I've seen in the last few years, Wilson's serves the work better than themore straightforward attempts to tell this complicated story about an ethereal empress who must acquire a shadow from a human being before she can bear children.
		To concentrate on the opera's plot is to invite unwanted associations with the anti-abortion movement (a phenomenon wholly unanticipated at the opera's 1919 premiere) and to prompt unflattering comparisons to modern science fiction's meticulously established rules governing alternate universes.

		Although a part of today's operatic repertoire, Die Frau ohne Schatten is not performed as regularly as Strauss' other operas.
		Certainly it is not because of the extraordinary requirements of the lush and complex orchestration Strauss is famous for and that can at times sound intimidating to the untutored ear.
		He is also a distinguished author whose recent book on the use of optical devices by the old masters of Western art caused quite a stir among art historians.

		Nach Elektra und Der Rosenkavalier ist Die Frau ohne Schatten die dritte Zusammenarbeit von Hofmannsthal und Strauss.
		Hofmannsthal wollte für Strauss eine „alte romantische Oper“ schreiben „und doch ein Ding, das nur heute entstehen konnte, real und symbolisch, fähig, die differenziertesten Menschen zu fesseln und auf die einfachsten zu wirken.“ Die neue Oper sollte sich zur Zauberflöte verhalten wie Der Rosenkavalier zu Figaros Hochzeit.

	classical music - andante - the met's magical frau ohne schatten
		Something from another plane — wondrous, not altogether fathomable and certainly incredible — comes sweeping into your life and goes away again, leaving you a bit dazed but better able to face the world.
		The story of Die Frau ohne Schatten is pretty much the story of the genre in which it is couched: opera.
		In the Met's thoroughly spectacular new production, not only does Die Frau weave an awesome spell, it comes down triumphantly on the side of the human couple, Barak and his wife, who must survive the visit of supernatural beings who have undisclosed needs of their own.

	INKPOT -- R. Strauss -- Ein Heldenleben, Frau ohne Schatten Suite -- Reference Recordings
		The relationship between Eiji Oue and the Minnesota Orchestra lasted all of seven years (1995-2002), during which many discs were made with the audiophile label Reference Recordings, several of which were nominated for Grammy Awards.
		The Suite from Die Frau ohne Schatten, arranged by Erich Leinsdorf, is not commonly encountered in the concert hall - usually one finds Der Rosenkavalier Suite instead, in its different arrangements.
		Die Frau ohne Schatten is a problematic opera because of its subject matter and its convoluted plot, but the music itself is the thing and there's enough music in this to have Erich Leinsdorf decide to make a suite out of it stiched together from the orchestral interludes that pepper the opera.

		Die Frau Ohne Schatten may be a difficult opera to understand fully, but one cannot deny the superlative stagecraft and the glorious singing that inhabit this incarnation.

		A performance of Richard Strauss' opera 'Die Frau Ohne Schatten' performed at the Salzburg Festival in 1992.
		I first got to know "Die Frau" in the late 80s from the cassette version of Karl Bohm's 1977 live Vienna performance and the CD version of Wolfgang Sawallisch's 1987 studio performance.
		I was particularly taken with the opera after hearing Sawallisch's performance, with its romantic, shimmering orchestral textures and wonderful recording quality, although I felt perhaps that there was room for even greater passion at key points.

	Classical Net Review - Strauss - Die Frau ohne Schatten
		Thinking of Strauss's music, especially his operas and especially Die Frau ohne Schatten (the woman without shadows), puts my salivary glands into the kind of overdrive they usually rev into at a great New Orleans Italian-Creole restaurant.
		What strikes the listener immediately - and I mean from the very first measures of the opera – is the genius of Strauss as one of the greatest orchestrators ever, the creator not only of daring, powerful, and beautiful new sounds, but of sounds dramatically right.

		Richard Strauss' DIE FRAU ohne SCHATTEN (The Woman Without a Shadow) opened at the Chicago Lyric Opera in November of 1984 following a year and a half of production work by Chase and his craftsmen and film technicians.
		The production was again a departure from tradition, and Corsaro and Chase set the work during the period of the Industrial Revolution in Germany rather than in the fairytale milieu in which it often takes place.
		This Frau works as beautifully for the eye as it does for the ear.

		One must however not get the idea that orphan works are the only pieces that readily lend themselves to Schneider-Siemssen's cosmic renderings.
		For example, he found that he could indulge his cosmic visions in a magnificent opera that has seen many stage incarnations and that is beloved by conductors for its lush, complex orchestration - Richard Strauss' Die Frau ohne Schatten (The Woman without a Shadow).
		Schneider-Siemssen has staged Frau many times dating back to his days in Bremen, and he says "each time I think I come a bit closer to knowing its mystery," discovering new connections and symbolisms.
