CONTENTS
The marshal has spent a night with her young lover Octavian. The morning get-together is interrupted by Baron Ochs auf Lerchenau. He asks the Marschallin for a suitable candidate who is to bring a silver rose to his very young bride Sophie - daughter of the newly ennobled, rich Lord von Faninal. The Marschallin proposes to Octavian. Melancholy, she reflects on 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 doesn't want to marry the unattractive ox, feels the same for Octavian. But only after Baron Ochs was set in a trap and he became unacceptable as a future husband did Sophie and Octavian's happiness in love seem assured. Especially since the Marschallin remains true to herself and, albeit with a heavy heart, lets Octavian go.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
With »Rosenkavalier«, which premiered in 1911, Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal succeeded in creating unique moments in operatic history: from the Marschallin’s monologues to the presentation of the roses to the glorified final trio. The coloring of a fictitious Theresian Vienna should invite less sentimental retrospective than allow a glimpse into the kaleidoscope of human, even broken, emotional worlds. In Vienna, the »Rosenkavalier« is part of the central repertoire, to which the great interpreters at the conductor's podium have always devoted themselves. This can be seen, for example, in the current production, which premiered in 1968 under Leonard Bernstein.
Subject to change.
