DER ROSENKAVALIER

Directed by Karlheinz Hundorf
West Germany, 1979
Music

Synopsis

After the tonality-stretching dissonance of Salome and especially Elektra, Richard Strauss moved onto a different musical path with his next opera. The epic grandeur of Der Rosenkavalier stems not just from its immense length, but from the all-too-human complexity of its characters.
