MetOpera: Der Rosenkavalier

Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier, performed as part of the Metropolitan Opera's 2016-2017 season captured live in HD on the New York stage. Conducted by Sebastian Weigle.

"The dream cast of Renée Fleming as the Marschallin and Elīna Garanča as Octavian star in Strauss’s grandest opera. In his new production, Robert Carsen, the director behind the Met’s recent Falstaff, places the action at the end of the Habsburg Empire, underscoring the opera’s subtext of class and conflict against a rich backdrop of gilt and red damask, in a staging that also stars Günther Groissböck as Baron Ochs."
