Richard Strauss summed up his two-act opera Intermezzo as a \u2018bourgeois comedy with symphonic interludes\u2019. The soprano role of Christine with its shimmering cantilenas represents Strauss\u2019s wife Pauline, while the successful Kapellmeister Robert Storch serves as Richard Strauss himself in a domestic drama that was avant-garde for its time but now resonates with the accessibility of today\u2019s reality shows. This production from the Deutsche Oper Berlin was acclaimed for its lush orchestral sound and superbly characterful cast led by a formidable central performance from Maria Bengtsson<\/em><\/p>\n
