Richard Strauss and the Austrian poet and dramatist Hugo von Hofmannsthal collaborated on the following six operas:
- Elektra (1909)
- Der Rosenkavalier (1911)
- Ariadne auf Naxos (1912)
- Die Frau ohne Schatten (1919)
- Die Àgyptische Helena (1928)
- Arabella (1933)
While Elektra was their first collaboration, the partnership continued until Hofmannsthal's death in 1929, at which point he was still working on the libretto for Arabella.12
