"Strauss's score is bursting with sonic opulence and waltz-intoxicated verve, but also reveals morbid moments. Symbolic of this is the figure of the Marschallin, who reflects on the transience of existence in the first act. Claus Guth's production—a "black comedy with fatal consequences" (Deutschlandfunk)—takes up this thematic impulse." (Source: Frankfurt Opera )
