The Gypsy Baron
In the 1960s, Schwarzkopf concentrated nearly exclusively on five operatic roles: Donna Elvira in "Don Giovanni", Countess Almaviva in "The Marriage of Figaro", Fiordiligi in "Così fan tutte", Countess Madeleine in Strauss's "Capriccio", and the Marschallin. She was also well received as Alice Ford in Verdi's "Falstaff". However, on the EMI label she made several "champagne operetta" recordings like Franz Lehár's "The Merry Widow" and Johann Strauss II's "The Gypsy Baron".
