As familiar as the work may be, the 150th anniversary of Richard Strauss' birth is marked with an innovation. The festival is being held for the first time, and the opera will be presented without the cuts made since the premiere in 1911, as the censors demanded it for excessive frivolity. The numbers stand out in sharper profile, with the most notable change in the first storyline being Baron Ochs' monologue, which now clearly defines his high position.

The roles are brilliantly cast: Günther Groissböck's singing is "of the finest, with a juicy lightness that gives him an irresistible villainous charm". (morning post)

Krassimira Stoyanova as Marshal "was simply breathtaking with her vocal and dramatic presence, her perfect control of voice and exemplary clarity of pronunciation". (Pivotal Culture)

The veteran Sophie Koch's Octavian is a delightful young nobleman and Mojca Erdmann portrays a confident young bourgeoise who wants to improve herself; together they are "the perfect bouquet dream". (Neue Musikzeitung)

Franz Welser-Möst is the audience's favorite on the stands of the Vienna Philharmonic. "The audience purred. They enjoyed a mesmerizing transparency, a refinement worthy of chamber music". (SZ)
