collaboration[edit]

" Strauss himself was collaborating with the Nazis, "

wow, this is so out of date. will amend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Byronmercury (talk • contribs) 22:11, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have expanded the previous text and made it into a new section. Kept Zweig's account (this is also a Zweig page) and added his quote about Strauss. I updated the narrative: the Potter and Walter chapters in the references are based on up to date research (Potter is a leading expert on music in the third Reich).

I deleted the following, most of it irrelevant now.

A work of great charm when well cast and performed^{[according to whom?]}, it has nevertheless proved one of Strauss' less successful operas. Strauss' association with a Jewish librettist in 1935 Germany provoked a hostile response from Hitler and Goebbels, and even after the war, it has enjoyed relatively few revivals

Zweig's adaptation of Jonson[edit]

This new section is based mainly on Del Mar's commentary, which is spread over nearly 50 pages, interspersed with analysis of the music and the politics. I have drawn together the main themes and I have provided in line citations for the key points. The libretto references are to the pdf you can download from the link in "external resources".

Performances in Strauss' lifetime[edit]

Although Strauss outlived the Nazi regime, Die schweigsame Frau was not revived in his lifetime^{[citation needed]}. Thanks for this: will look into it. Have removed for now.Byronmercury (talk) 11:57, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"1946 versuchte Dresden mit einer Aufführung im Kleinen Haus die Oper zu rehabilitieren; Berlin, München und Wiesbaden folgten" from the German Wikipedia Die schweigsame Frau. "In 1946 Dresden rehabilitated the opera with a performance in the small theatre; Berlin , Munich and Wiesbaden followed".
