Der Rosenkavalier (Festspielhaus Baden-Baden)

We are excited to feature a summer series of classic European opera films. Giving our patrons a taste of what’s to come as we expand our diverse artistic offerings!

Der Rosenkavalier (Festspielhaus Baden-Baden) with Renée Fleming – Soprano Renée Fleming heads “a galactic cast” in this bittersweet comedy of love as the Marschallin, using her velvety tones to complement the dynamic, youthful voice of Sophie Koch as her young lover Octavian. Diana Damrau’s Sophie enhances the trio’s range with her ethereal high notes. Next to Franz Hawlata as a swaggering Baron Ochs and the always impressive Franz Grundheber as Faninal, the Baden-Baden production rounds off its male leads with international tenor star Jonas Kaufmann as the “Italian Singer.” Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s masterpiece combines humor with genuine emotion and drama.
