Pierre Mendell has been designing the posters for the Bavarian State Opera in Munich since 1993. Using a simple, almost archaic, visual language he has successfully created an unmistakable identity for the opera. Posters for the Opera collects eighty posters made by Mendell as well as short texts by Sir Peter Jonas, Ulrike Hessler, Florian Hufnagel, Karl Michel Armer and Lars M ller pay tribute to different aspects of Mendell's posters, highlighting their special features.
Here is the definitive account of all of Strauss's dramatic works--fifteen operas and two ballets. Whenever possible, the author has included illustrations of the first performance and premiere as well as the work's evolution through various stages. His discussions of the individual works are based on a thorough examination of the sources, many hitherto unknown. In addition, he provides a brief synopsis of each to further help the reader. No one who loves the work of Strauss can do without this essential book.
