With Richard Strauss' penultimate, satirically mythological opera Die Liebe der Danae (The Love of Danae) after a draft by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, the Salzburg Festival continues its series of operas by the Festival founders Hofmannsthal and Strauss with the Wiener Philharmoniker under the baton of Franz Welser-Möst.

"Krassimira Stoyanova is heading a truly supreme cast and emerges as the "one in a thousand, the true Strauss lyric-dramatic soprano who can soar and swoop, working miracles on phrases that never stop coming." The Artsdesk
"Alvis Hermanis' colourful production brings oriental flair to Salzburg, his staging was spectacular above all else." Opera Today
"Once more, this very rarely presented opera returned successfully on stage, leaving the audience with unforgettable impressive images embedded in soft romantic sound."

"The chief glory is probably the playing of the Vienna Philharmonic - warm, burnished and with all the sparkle of Strauss's score...Welser-Möst's conducting, though hardly revelatory, has an admirable seriousness and keeps the action moving along efficiently and effectively. Krassimira Stoyanova rises to the challenge of Danae tirelessly, singing with luxurious, focused tone throughout." Gramophone Magazine, Awards Issue 2017
