Der Rosenkavalier is undoubtedly the masterpiece of German composer Richard Strauss. Set in 18th-century Vienna, the story centres on the ageing Feldmarschallin and her younger lover Oktavian who in turn falls in love with Sophie, who is herself betrothed to the lecherous Baron Ochs. Needless to say that a lot of intrigue, confusion and mistaken identities ensue before this delightful merry-go-round reaches its conclusion. But the Rosenkavalier is a lot more than just a frivolous musical comedy. Both Strauss and librettist Hugo von Hoffmansthal manage to infuse the work with a great deal of emotional depth and humanity as well. This new production directed by actor and double Oscar winner Christoph Waltz boasts a stellar cast including Camilla Nylund, Christiane Karg and Stefanie Doufexis and Strauss-expert Stefan Soltesz will conduct the OPL.
