About

The Knight of the Rose, or Der Rosenkavalier, is probably the best known and best loved opera by Richard Strauss, a crowd-pleasing success from the moment of its premiere in 1911. Qualified by the composer himself as a “Mozartean opera,” it arguably represents the high water mark of Strauss's creative output. Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s libretto follows two different stories set in an imagined Vienna: that of the Marschallin, who here breaks up voluntarily with her lover Octavian due to the passing of time and the flightiness of the heart; and that of Octavian, who vies for the hand of the young bourgeois Sophie—already promised to the rude and penniless Baron Ochs, cousin of the Marschallin herself.
