Opera:
It was 10 years ago when we went to this unusual Strauss.
That was
certainly the take-away from Thursday’s performance. The Russian conductor
Vladimir Jurowski drew a plush and surging account of Strauss’s miraculous
score from the great Met orchestra. The cast was headed by the magisterial
German soprano Anne Schwanewilms in her company debut as the Empress, the woman
without a shadow. And this was a breakthrough night at the Met for the American
soprano Christine Goerke, who received an ecstatic ovation for her powerfully
sung and wrenching portrayal of the hard-bitten Dyer’s Wife. Ms. Goerke has
evolved in recent years into a dramatic soprano of exciting potential.
Must
try and get tickets!
