Capriccio April 23, 2011

Renee Fleming stars in Richard Strauss' 'Capriccio.' In opera, which element rules supreme? Words or music? The question preoccupied Richard Strauss throughout his life. It lies at the heart of his 15th and final opera, 'Capriccio,' where the question is charmingly personified in the form of a lively love triangle, featuring a beautiful Countess and her two suitors - one a poet, the other a composer. The opera is sung in German with Met titles.
