Boulder Opera Presents: Der Rosenkavalier by Strauss
Advertisement
Love, laughter, and a little bit of chaos... Viennese style.
Join Boulder Opera for a fresh, intimate take on Der Rosenkavalier, a romantic comedy by Richard Strauss that blends heart, humor, and stunning music.
Set in the glittering world of 18th-century Vienna, the story follows a complicated love triangle: a noblewoman, her younger lover, and a sweet young bride-to-be. There's a cheeky disguise, a silver rose, and plenty of laughs along the way all with gorgeous melodies and rich emotions.
The opera is sung in German with piano accompaniment, and we’ll guide you through the story with English narration, so you’ll never miss a beat. Music Director Brandon Matthews leads an incredible cast in this elegant yet accessible production.
Duration: 2 hours and 30 minutes
