Strauss, R.: Der Rosenkavalier

Decca Classics and The Metropolitan Opera present Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier, featuring a star-studded cast including Renée Fleming and Elīna Garanča.

This outstanding performance marks an unforgettable night in Met history: Renée Fleming’s farewell to her signature role as the Marschallin and Elīna Garanča’s final turn as Octavian. This new and notable production sees Robert Carsen update the setting to Vienna in 1911, the year of the opera’s premiere.

“The dramatic chemistry between Ms. Fleming and Ms. Garanča came through in their every exchange” New York Times

“[Renée Fleming] sings the arching melodic line that begins Strauss’s transcendent trio with seamless phrasing and ethereal sound, her more mature voice blending poignantly with the youthful colorings of Ms. Morley and Ms. Garanča.” The New Yorker
