For its 69th annual production, the LOWELL HOUSE OPERA presents "DER
ROSENKAVALIER" ("The Knight of the Rose"), a comic opera in three acts,
with music composed by Richard Strauss and libretto written by Hugo von
Hofmannsthal. Set in 18th century Vienna during the reign of the Empress
Maria Theresa, the opera features a fearless baron who seeks to marry a
young woman to share in her newly ennobled father's riches. Meanwhile, his
cousin, a princess, discovers with great poignancy that love may not
survive the relentless passage of time. Probably the most popular opera of
the 20th century, it combines great sentiment with colorful comedy,
featuring some of the most exquisite writing for voices and orchestra and
some of the most memorable waltz melodies. The opera will be sung in
German with English surtitles; it will be fully staged and costumed, with
orchestra.
Music directed by Channing Yu, stage directed by Edward Eaton, produced by
Sarah Eggleston. There will be eight performances with alternating casts.
