Vienna at the time of Empress Maria Theresia: the married Field Marshal Princess Werdenberg and the young Count Octavian are in love. One morning they are disturbed by the field marshal's cousin, Baron Ochs auf Lerchenau. He asks his cousin to recommend someone for his marriage to Sophie, daughter of a wealthy, newly ennobled family, who, according to old custom, will present the bride with a silver rose on the wedding day. The Field Marshal suggests Octavian. When the rose is handed over, Octavian and Sophie fatally fall in love with each other. Sophie, on the other hand, is appalled by Ochs' clumsy manners... Der Rosenkavalier is the grand opening production of the 2013/14 season. The new chief conductor Alexander Soddy will be in charge of the music, and Marco Štorman, who has already staged Elfriede Jelinek's Winterreise with great success in Klagenfurt, is in charge. The multiple award-winning soprano Betsy Horne can be seen in the role of the Ferldmarschallin Fürstin Werdenberg. Angela Brower appeared in Cosí fan tutte alongside Rolando Villazón and will sing Octavian in Klagenfurt. The role of Sophie will be sung by the South African soprano Golda Schultz, who is a permanent member of the ensemble at our house this season.
