The Met: Live in HD - Der Rosenkavalier

A sterling cast assembles for Strauss’s grand Viennese comedy Der Rosenkavalier. Soprano Lise Davidsen is the aging Marschallin, opposite mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey as her lover Octavian and soprano Erin Morley as Sophie, the beautiful younger woman who steals his heart. Bass Günther Groissböck returns as the churlish Baron Ochs, and Brian Mulligan is Sophie’s wealthy father, Faninal. Maestro Simone Young takes the Met podium to oversee Robert Carsen’s fin-de-siècle staging. [Est. Runtime: 4 hrs 30 mins, sung in German with English subtitles] The Met Live in HD series is sponsored by Delmarva Public Radio. Venue: Cinema Art Theater. Presenter: Rehoboth Beach Film Society.
