Based on the libretto by Hugo Von Hofmannsthal, Richard Strauss's classic operatic comedy takes place in Vienna in the 1740s. Considered by many to be a work of genius, Hofmannsthal's libretto explores each character in depth. Strauss, who wrote the opera in as little as five months between 1910 and 1911, infused the choral scenes with vibrant life, turning in what would become his most successful opera. Making its debut in Dresden in January 1911, DER ROSENKAVALIER was first performed under the directorial expertise of the accomplished Max Reinhardt. Here, Pier Luigi Pizzi, one of the world's most revered opera directors, leads an experienced German cast including Ildiko Komlosi, in this rendition of Strauss's classic.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33
