The Met â Der Rosenkavalier
Storyline
This production of Straussâs most sumptuous work by director Nathaniel Merrill and designer Robert OâHearn is almost as beloved as the opera itself. It perfectly captures the glittering never-land of rococco Vienna the way the Vienneseâand the rest of the worldâwish it had been, and itâs the ideal setting for an adult comedy of love and errors. Susan Graham is the aristocratic young Octavian, torn between two women: RenĂ©e Fleming as the Marschallin, the mature woman who understands that one day Octavian must leave her; and Christine SchĂ€fer as Sophie, the young girl who unexpectedly captures his heart. Kristinn Sigmundsson is the lecherous Baron Ochs who sets the whirling plot in motion, and Edo de Waart conducts.
