| Summary |
Strauss completed his second-to-last opera 'Die Liebe der Danae' in 1940. Written under war clouds, the 'merry mythology' based on an idea by von Hofmannsthal was given a provisional, by-invitation-only dress rehearsal premiere at the Salzburg Festival '44 the day before all theaters in the 'Reich' were closed by order of the Ministry of Propaganda. |
