Richard Strauss: Der Rosenkavalier @ Zurich Opera House Synopsis
When Strauss and Hofmannsthal wrote «Der Rosenkavalier» – setting it in an imaginary Rococo Vienna and yet closely linked to the decadent fin de siècle – they created a profound social comedy. It is not without melancholy that the Marschallin lets her young lover Octavian go when he falls head over heels with Sophie, who hails from Faninal’s bourgeois household. As voluptuous as Strauss' score is, it contains tender moments of dream and melancholy. Director Lydia Steier stages Strauss’ opera according to an aesthetic concept by Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein. Diana Damrau sings the Marschallin. Joana Mallwitz, chief conductor at the Konzerthaus Berlin, conducts the Orchester der Oper Zürich.
Richard Strauss: Der Rosenkavalier @ Zurich Opera House (2025) is a music and comedy film directed by Lydia Steier, released on September 21, 2025 with a runtime of 3h 49m. It stars Diana Damrau, Günther Groissböck, Bo Skovhus and Angela Brower.
