With its orchestral colours and enticing melodies, Der Rosenkavalier exudes Viennese elegance, making it one of Richard Strauss' most popular operas.
Aging Marchellin clings to her youth via her young lover Octavian, while the boor Ochs wishes to propose to blossoming Sophie. Young love and the inevitable passing of time are featured in a uniquely beautiful production directed with polish by Marco Arturo Marell.
