This Saturday at 1 p.m., WHRO-FM presents Richard Strauss’ beloved comedy “Der Rosenkavalier,” in a performance from Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris. Known for its lush orchestration and bittersweet mix of romance and comedy, the opera captures the passage of time, youthful love, and the wisdom that comes with age.
Marlis Peterse stars as the Marschallin, with Marina Viotti as Octavian and Regula Mühlemann as Sophie. Peter Rose takes on the role of the boisterous Bron Ochs, joined by Jean-Sébastien Bou as Faninal. The Orchestre National de France and the Maîtrise des Hauts-de-Seine, under the baton of Henrik Nánási, bring Strauss’ dazzling score to life.
Don’t miss this Parisian staging of one of Strauss’ most enduring works. Tune in this Saturday at 1 p.m. on WHRO-FM 90.3, or listen online.
