Annette Dasch makes her role debut as Marschallin at the NNT Tokyo

Annette Dasch, one of the world's leading sopranos, performs the role of the Marschallin, making a much-awaited return to the NNTT for the first time in 14 years. She says about the role “For me, the Marschallin is one of the most important and most profound roles in the operatic repertoire. In the opera, she grows older and undergoes changes, and eventually she lets go of her lover. The role seems to embody the life of a woman, and I feel an inner strength in her. Strauss's marvelous music communicates the emotions of the Marschallin. It's always special to stage this opera.” (Source: https://www.nntt.jac.go.jp/english/news/opera/interview-annette-dasch.html)
