The Santa Fe Opera | DER ROSENKAVALIER | 2024

Описание: In the decadent world of Vienna, a story of romantic entanglements unfolds between a youthful nobleman, his mature mistress, and a young woman engaged to be married to an older Baron. Who is to give in or give up their heart?

Bruno Ravella directs this elegant new production set in the 1950s in a co-production with Garsington Opera and the Irish National Opera. Making her SFO conducting debut will be Karina Canellakis. Former apprentices Rachel Willis-Sørensen and Paula Murrihy are the Marschallin and Octavian. Ying Fang returns to Santa Fe to sing Sophie.
