The 'thematic transformations' are endless the orchestral pictures fresh the pace well varied. If the musical tagging of every dramatic element sounds like period routine the opera has a saving lyrical grace: more relaxed and fluid than either his preceding Hofmannsthal opera Die Frau ohne Schatten or the more recent Intermezzo to his own text."

"Despite a notable cast Karl Böhm conducted Cebotari's Aminta the 61-year-old Plaschke's Morosus Martin Kremer's Henry and Matthieu Ahlersmeyer's Barber the opera had a fraught première. Even in 1935 Strauss had to battle with Nazi officialdom to get his Jewish librettist acknowledged on the Dresden Opera handbills whereupon Hitler and Goebbels decided not to attend." The opera was banned after only four performances. David Murray and Bryan Gilliam in Grove Music Online. Adolph Fürstner [PN A. 8303 F.; A. 8303.8308 F.] unknown books

Müller von Asow p. 1015. <br/><br/>The last opera of Richard Strauss to be produced but not composed. The premiere was planned for the Salzburg Festival 1944 but all theatrical performances were canceled by Goebbels in response to war-time developments. A dress rehearsal with an invited audience including Strauss was held on August 16 1944. The premiere was delayed until August 14 195 again at the Salzburg Festival with the same conductor Clemens Krauss but a different cast.<br/><br/>"As far back as 1920 Strauss's great collaborator Hofmannsthal had proposed Danae as the heroine of a mythological opera. After the writer's untimely death in 1929 the composer. asked Joseph Gregor in 1936 to develop the Danae idea. There was long painful rewriting and as usual the composer wounded his subservient partner by taking outside advice. and thrusting it upon him. The score was finished in June 1940. Strauss was reluctant to see this 'oeuvre posthume' staged during his lifetime and after the 1944 première meant to celebrate his 80th birthday was aborted by Goebbels when the Allies' Second Front threatened he never sanctioned another performance."

Averse to the metaphysics of Wagner and indifferent to Mahler's philosophical intentions in music Strauss exploited instead the paradoxes inconsistencies and potential profundities to be found in modern everyday life. The new possibilities he envisioned for music were exemplified in the eclecticism of the opera Der Rosenkavalier in which the juxtaposition of contemporary with intentionally anachronistic elements creates a stylistic pluralism that adumbrates subsequent experimentation of the later 20th century."
