Medea with Leonie Rysanek

One can hardly find adequate words to describe the intensity and the committment that the great Leonie Rysanek offered to her audiences. Here are some scenes from  Richard Strauss operas that show her to her very best: Salome, Ariadne, Elektra, Aegyptische Helena, Die Frau Ohne Schatten    I know these excerpts will thrill you as much as they thrilled countless audiences for so many years.                     (71 min.)
