A film by Thomas von Steinaeck-er featuring Brigitte Fassbaender Reneacutee Fleming Gwyneth Jones Christa Ludwig Christian Strauss Rufus Wainwright Franz Wels-er-Moumlst and Strauss expert Chris-toph Wagner-Trenkwitz who leads us through the film

The film Richard Strauss and his Her-oines goes on an exciting journey dis-covering the women in Straussrsquo life In the focus is primarily his relation-ship with the choleric and chronical-ly jealous Pauline to whom he was married for over 55 years up to his death Until today she is seen as a

harridan who often embarrassed her husband in public It hereby falls un-der the table that Strauss at the be-ginning and the end of his relation-ship composed his finest songs for the trained singer who gave up her career for him and covered his back for the rest of his lifeWhat was it that made the broken old man who experienced the most varied of epochs in German history

EUROARTS MUSIC AND ARTHAUS MUSIK PRESENThellipRichard Strauss And His Heroines

A film by Thomas von Steinaeck-er featuring Brigitte Fassbaender Reneacutee Fleming Gwyneth Jones Christa Ludwig Christian Strauss Rufus Wainwright Franz Wels-er-Moumlst and Strauss expert Chris-toph Wagner-Trenkwitz who leads us through the film

The film Richard Strauss and his Her-oines goes on an exciting journey dis-covering the women in Straussrsquo life In the focus is primarily his relation-ship with the choleric and chronical-ly jealous Pauline to whom he was married for over 55 years up to his death Until today she is seen as a

harridan who often embarrassed her husband in public It hereby falls un-der the table that Strauss at the be-ginning and the end of his relation-ship composed his finest songs for the trained singer who gave up her career for him and covered his back for the rest of his lifeWhat was it that made the broken old man who experienced the most varied of epochs in German history

A film by Thomas von Steinaeck-er featuring Brigitte Fassbaender Reneacutee Fleming Gwyneth Jones Christa Ludwig Christian Strauss Rufus Wainwright Franz Wels-er-Moumlst and Strauss expert Chris-toph Wagner-Trenkwitz who leads us through the film

The film Richard Strauss and his Her-oines goes on an exciting journey dis-covering the women in Straussrsquo life In the focus is primarily his relation-ship with the choleric and chronical-ly jealous Pauline to whom he was married for over 55 years up to his death Until today she is seen as a

harridan who often embarrassed her husband in public It hereby falls un-der the table that Strauss at the be-ginning and the end of his relation-ship composed his finest songs for the trained singer who gave up her career for him and covered his back for the rest of his lifeWhat was it that made the broken old man who experienced the most varied of epochs in German history

A film by Thomas von Steinaeck-er featuring Brigitte Fassbaender Reneacutee Fleming Gwyneth Jones Christa Ludwig Christian Strauss Rufus Wainwright Franz Wels-er-Moumlst and Strauss expert Chris-toph Wagner-Trenkwitz who leads us through the film

The film Richard Strauss and his Her-oines goes on an exciting journey dis-covering the women in Straussrsquo life In the focus is primarily his relation-ship with the choleric and chronical-ly jealous Pauline to whom he was married for over 55 years up to his death Until today she is seen as a

harridan who often embarrassed her husband in public It hereby falls un-der the table that Strauss at the be-ginning and the end of his relation-ship composed his finest songs for the trained singer who gave up her career for him and covered his back for the rest of his lifeWhat was it that made the broken old man who experienced the most varied of epochs in German history

A film by Thomas von Steinaeck-er featuring Brigitte Fassbaender Reneacutee Fleming Gwyneth Jones Christa Ludwig Christian Strauss Rufus Wainwright Franz Wels-er-Moumlst and Strauss expert Chris-toph Wagner-Trenkwitz who leads us through the film

The film Richard Strauss and his Her-oines goes on an exciting journey dis-covering the women in Straussrsquo life In the focus is primarily his relation-ship with the choleric and chronical-ly jealous Pauline to whom he was married for over 55 years up to his death Until today she is seen as a

harridan who often embarrassed her husband in public It hereby falls un-der the table that Strauss at the be-ginning and the end of his relation-ship composed his finest songs for the trained singer who gave up her career for him and covered his back for the rest of his lifeWhat was it that made the broken old man who experienced the most varied of epochs in German history

A film by Thomas von Steinaeck-er featuring Brigitte Fassbaender Reneacutee Fleming Gwyneth Jones Christa Ludwig Christian Strauss Rufus Wainwright Franz Wels-er-Moumlst and Strauss expert Chris-toph Wagner-Trenkwitz who leads us through the film

The film Richard Strauss and his Her-oines goes on an exciting journey dis-covering the women in Straussrsquo life In the focus is primarily his relation-ship with the choleric and chronical-ly jealous Pauline to whom he was married for over 55 years up to his death Until today she is seen as a

harridan who often embarrassed her husband in public It hereby falls un-der the table that Strauss at the be-ginning and the end of his relation-ship composed his finest songs for the trained singer who gave up her career for him and covered his back for the rest of his lifeWhat was it that made the broken old man who experienced the most varied of epochs in German history

A film by Thomas von Steinaeck-er featuring Brigitte Fassbaender Reneacutee Fleming Gwyneth Jones Christa Ludwig Christian Strauss Rufus Wainwright Franz Wels-er-Moumlst and Strauss expert Chris-toph Wagner-Trenkwitz who leads us through the film

The film Richard Strauss and his Her-oines goes on an exciting journey dis-covering the women in Straussrsquo life In the focus is primarily his relation-ship with the choleric and chronical-ly jealous Pauline to whom he was married for over 55 years up to his death Until today she is seen as a

harridan who often embarrassed her husband in public It hereby falls un-der the table that Strauss at the be-ginning and the end of his relation-ship composed his finest songs for the trained singer who gave up her career for him and covered his back for the rest of his lifeWhat was it that made the broken old man who experienced the most varied of epochs in German history
