Description

One of the greatest operatic masterpieces, Der Rosenkavalier, by Richard Strauss, is reprinted in this low-cost edition straight from the definitive vocal score written by Otto Singer, approved by Strauss, and published by Adolph F. Stner in 1911, the year the opera debuted in Dresden. The most well-known opera by the Bavarian composer is Der Rosenkavalier. The Romantic movement's aesthetics were to be fully realized in his symphonic poems, operas, and songs. The opera was an instant hit and Strauss's most successful collaboration with the renowned Austrian poet Hugo von Hofmannsthal. It was a brilliant and bittersweet celebration of love. The vocal parts, the verbal text, and a piano reduction of the full orchestral score make up the vocal score.
