Der Rosenkavalier - Schedule, Program & Tickets

Comedy for music in three acts
Text Hugo von Hofmannsthal

Content:
The Marschallin has spent a night with her young lover Octavian. Their morning get-together is interrupted by Baron Ochs of Lerchenau.
He asks the Marschallin for a suitable candidate who should bring a silver rose to his very young bride Sophie - daughter of the newly ennobled, rich Mr. von Faninal. The Marschallin suggests Octavian. She melancholically ponders the transience of life. With "a light heart and light hands" she wants to let Octavian go one day...
When he meets Sophie, he falls in love with her. Sophie, who does not want to marry the unattractive Ochs, feels the same about Octavian. But only after Baron Ochs is trapped and he becomes unbearable as a future husband does Sophie and Octavian's happiness seem assured. Especially since the Marschallin remains faithful to herself and, albeit with a heavy heart, lets Octavian go.
