A Note on Opera: “Der Rosenkavalier “
December 14, 2015 at 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
$10
Richard Strauss’s “Der Rosenkavalier” [The Knight of the Rose] premiered in Dresden in 1911. It was a radical departure from Strauss’s preceding works and his 2nd collaboration with one of the great German-language playwrights, the Austrian hugo von Hofmansthal.
Originally intended to be a full-blown comedy, as composition progressed “Rosenkavalier” evolved into a nuanced, affectionate observation on the vagaries of the human heart and the accpetance of time passing us by.
Course to be taught in English by Mr. David Kerr, no previous musical knowledge is required.
