Karl Böhm
In 1933 Böhm conducted in Vienna for the first time, in "Tristan and Isolde" by Wagner. He succeeded Fritz Busch, who had gone into exile, as head of Dresden's Semper Opera in 1934, a position he held until 1942. This was an important period for him, in which he conducted the first performances of works by Richard Strauss: "Die schweigsame Frau" (1935) and "Daphne" (1938), which is dedicated to him. He also conducted the first performances of "Romeo und Julia" (1940) and "Die Zauberinsel" (1942) by Heinrich Sutermeister, and Strauss's Horn Concerto No. 2 (1943).
