Abstract "Already brimming with symbols and transformations, the epic fairy tale recounted by Strauss and his librettist Hofmannsthal in Die Frau ohn Schatten acquires a further allegorical dimension in Christof Loy's inventive production for the Salzburg Festival. The central character, the Empress--half-spirit, half-human, and unable to bear children until she finds a shadow--here becomes a young soprano who makes a voyage of personal and professional discovery as she records the opera."--Container.
