HUNGARIAN STATE OPERA: DER ROSENKAVALIER, September-October, 2010
|
Der Rosenkavalier is a comic opera in three acts by Richard Strauss which is loosely adapted from the novel Les amours du chevalier de Faublas by Louvet de Couvrai and Molière?s comedy Monsieur de Pourceaugnac. The main characters are: the aristocratic Marschallin, her very young lover Octavian Rofrano, a part sung by a woman, her coarse, skirt-chasing country cousin Baron Ochs, and his young prospective fiancée Sophie, the lovely daughter of a rich Viennese bourgeois.
Baron Ochs, having arranged with Sophie's father Faninal to combine his noble rank with Faninal's money by marrying Sophie, asks the Marschallin to suggest an appropriate young man to be his Knight of the Rose. This knight will present a silver rose to Sophie on his behalf as a traditional symbol of courtship; Marshallin recommends Octavian. When Octavian delivers the rose, he and Sophie fall in love at first sight, and must figure out a way to prevent Sophie from marrying Baron Ochs. They accomplish this in a comedy of errors that is smoothed over with the help of the Marschallin.
