Description
With a terrific cast including Maria Bengtsson and Katharina Magiera, and under the baton of Sebastian Weigle, OehmsClassics and Opera Frankfurt bring back to life a nearly forgotten jewel of comic opera in the 19th century. After the premiere at the Viennese Kärntnertortheater in 1847, Friedrich von Flotow’s Martha became one of the most popular operas in Europe for nearly half a century. Full of charming melodies and with a plot as hilarious as it is fast-paced, the story of bored Lady Harriet Durham and her friend Nancy, who travel as 'Martha' and 'Julia' to the Richmond servant’s fair not only to find a job but also true love, is an enchanting example of 1850’s opera and also Friedrich von Flotow’s wonderful light-hearted music.
