The Met: Live in HD – Der Rosenkavalier (Strauss)
Opening at the Cinema Art Theater in Lewes
Rehoboth Beach Film Society’s Cinema Art Theater presents The Met: Live in HD production of Der Rosenkavalier. A dream cast assembles for Strauss’s grand Viennese comedy. Soprano Lise Davidsen is the aging Marschallin, opposite mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard 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 baritone Markus Brück is Sophie’s wealthy father, Faninal. Maestro Simone Young takes the Met podium to oversee Robert Carsen’s fin-de-siècle staging. [Est. Runtime: 385 mins, sung in German with English subtitles]
