Met Guild Multi-Lecture Series in October 2009
Cunning Little Vixens: The Women of Strauss and Mozart
(Four Thursdays: Oct. 1, 8, 15 & 22, 2:00pm-3:15 pm)
Although Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Richard Strauss lived in different centuries, Strauss combined experiments in the tonalities of his era with the sensibilities of Mozart’s time, openly drawing on the earlier composer for inspiration. The female voice was central to the operatic ambitions of both composers, who created some of the most unforgettable heroines known to the lyric stage.
