Capriccio

Capriccio

Lyric Opera
20 N. Wacker Drive Chicago

In this sophisticated drawing-room comedy, the Countess and her guests are trying to decide whether it's the words or the music that triumph in creating great art. The theater director thinks it's a silly question (he just wants to give the audience a good show!), the Count doesn't care (he just wants an affair with the actress.). And so it goes in Strauss's masterpiece, illuminated by some of his most lushly sensual music.
