Die Frau ohne Schatten (The Woman without a Shadow) boasts a sumptuous score from Strauss which poignantly illuminates the magic, mystery and earthy warmth of Hugo von Hofmannsthal's characters. Led by Valery Gergiev, this epic production from St Peterburg's famed Mariinsky Opera is a collaboration between two British artists, director Jonathan Kent and designer Paul Brown. Die Frau ohne Schatten, which tells the story of an Empress whose husband will be turned to stone if she doesn't 'cast a shadow', is a spectacular and opulent dramatic tour de force, radiantly evoking the contrasts between the spirit world and human existence.
