Strauss’s sparkling score for A Night in Venice enjoyed considerable success around the world.
Although later arranged by Korngold, it is heard here in its original version and free from spoken dialogue.
When the lady-killer Duke of Urbino decides to seduce Barbara, the most beautiful woman in town, at a masked ball, the scene is set for an unforgettable night. But the duke’s barber, Caramello, hands out the invitations to his working-class friends instead of the cream of society, and mistaken identities contribute another hilarious chapter to the war of the sexes.
