Ian Greenlaw: Lawyer (cover)

Inspired by an incident in his own marriage, Strauss’s lighthearted domestic comedy creates a real-life portrayal of his temperamental yet devoted wife.  Crafting the libretto to this rarely performed work himself, Strauss championed a new genre of opera in which everyday events provide the subject matter. This series of short cinematic vignettes with orchestral interludes follows the fast-paced action in a witty production by director Leon Major.  Tickets & Information.
