Opernring 1

1010 Wien

 

“Der Rosenkavalier” is an opera in three acts by Richard Strauss and premiered in January 1911. Next to his operas like Elektra and Salome, “der Rosenkavalier” is one of his best known works. Not only today, but even back then the comedy was a success. Shortly after the premiere, the opera has been put into a movie.

In the opera, Octavian loves the almost twice as old field marshal. She finds herself, neglected by her husband, in the bedroom with Octavian after a ball. Shortly afterward,s the cousin of the field marshal, Baron, enters the room. The panicked Octavian puts on a dress and a wig in an attempt to camouflage himself. The Baron, who was going to get married and therefore wanted to ask the Field Marshal for the recommendation for a Rosenkavalier, is not able to recognize the camouflaged Octavian and falls in love with him. The Field Marshal recommends the baron Octavian as an appropriate Rosenkavalier. After Octavian enters the service of the baron, he falls in love with the baron’s fiancée, Sophie.
