Description
Episode Description
Returning to the field of opera, Mme. Lehmann takes up a role with which she is more often identified than almost any other the Marschallin, Princess of Werdenberg, in Richard Strauss bitter-sweet opera Der Rosenkavalier. Speaking of the still vital Marschallin as a woman of that age where resignation waits just around the corner, Mme. Lehmann then turns to Mozarts comic masterwork, The Marriage of Figaro, and the Countess scene and aria Dove Sono from Act III. Grace de la Cruz is the student. Mme. Lehmann gives careful coaching on the rapidly changing feelings of the Countess in the recitative section preceding the aria and sings and acts through the section herself.

Series Description
In a career as performer and teacher that stretched over fifty years, Lotte Lehmann has enriched the lives of countless audiences and dozens of young singers. For three decades a world-famed star of the Vienna and Metropolitan Opera Companies, Mme. Lehmann has chosen, in the last dozen years, to work with students not in vocal production but in expression and acting. She has conducted her famous master classes in lieder and opera roles for the past twelve years at her musical home, the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, California. In July of 1961, Mme. Lehmann gave her final master classes at the Music Academy. This series presents a record of her final classes, during which Mme. Lehmann suggests dramatic changes; she often sings to demonstrate a variety of points. LOTTE LEHMANN MASTER CLASS is a production of KQED, San Francisco. Produced at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, California. The 7 half-hour episodes that comprise this series were originally recorded on film.
