Synopsis by Nathan Southern
The Semperoper Dresden mounted this 2007 production of Richard Strauss's 1911 opera Der Rosenkavalier (The Knight of the Rose) at the NHK Hall in Tokyo, Japan. As directed for the stage by Uwe Eric Laufenberg, it stars Anne Schwanewilms as Feldmarschallin Fürstin Werdenberg, Kurt Rydl as Baron Ochs auf Lerchenau, and Anke Vondung as Octavian. The Staatsopernchor Dresden (under the direction of chorus masters Ulrich Paetzholdt and Matthias Brauer) and the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden (under the baton of Fabio Luisi) lend added musical support.
