Richard Strauss’s: Der Rosenkavalier
Saturday, April 9, 2011, San Diego Opera
San Diego Civic Theatre – 3rd and B Streets, Downtown San Diego
Experience this rarely performed opera featuring the international opera stars Andrew Greenan and Anja Harteros
The lushly scored music of Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier brings to life the story of the Marschallin, a beautiful neglected noblewoman. A torrid affair with a young lover brings her intense pleasure, but reinforces her fear of losing him, as well as her beauty and youth. International opera stars Andrew Greenan and Anja Harteros make their role debuts amidst the dazzling, 18th century opulence of the Austrian Empire.
