 Strauss resorted to a more rich, lyrical late-Romantic style for his later operas. Among these compositions were the massively popular Der Rosenkavalier (1911), Ariadne auf Naxos (1912), and Arabella (1932.). [([[https://www.operalogg.com/american-history-of-opera-from-18th-century/|Operalogg]])]
+===== Rise Of The Nazi Party =====
+Strauss did not join the Nazi party in the early 1930s. However, for practical reasons, he first collaborated with the early Nazi dictatorship in the belief that it would promote German art and culture. However, much of Strauss's purpose during the Third Reich was to safeguard his Jewish daughter-in-law and grandchildren from persecution. Strauss used his tremendous clout to keep them from being sent to concentration camps.[([[https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20140610-richard-strauss-a-reluctant-nazi|BBC]])]
+===== After 2nd World War =====
+Strauss was seized by US forces at his farm at the end of WWII. "I am Richard Strauss, the composer of Rosenkavalier and Salome," he told Lt. Milton Weiss. Lt. Weiss, who was also a musician, nodded in acknowledgement. To protect the composer, a 'Off Limits' sign was later installed on the grass.[([[https://www.therightnotes.org/richard-strauss.html|The Right Notes]])]
