Talk:Die schweigsame Frau

collaboration

" Strauss himself was collaborating with the Nazis, "

wow, this is so out of date. will amend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Byronmercury (talk • contribs) 22:11, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

I have expanded the previous text and made it into a new section. Kept Zweig's account (this is also a Zweig page) and added his quote about Strauss. I updated the narrative: the Potter and Walter chapters in the references are based on up to date research (Potter is a leading expert on music in the third Reich).

I deleted the following, most of it irrelevant now.

A work of great charm when well cast and performed, it has nevertheless proved one of Strauss' less successful operas. Strauss' association with a Jewish librettist in 1935 Germany provoked a hostile response from Hitler and Goebbels, and even after the war, it has enjoyed relatively few revivals

Zweig's adaptation of Jonson

This new section is based mainly on Del Mar's commentary, which is spread over nearly 50 pages, interspersed with analysis of the music and the politics. I have drawn together the main themes and I have provided in line citations for the key points. The libretto references are to the pdf you can download from the link in "external resources".

"1946 versuchte Dresden mit einer Aufführung im Kleinen Haus die Oper zu rehabilitieren; Berlin, München und Wiesbaden folgten" from the German Wikipedia Die schweigsame Frau.
