Opera Scenes: Der Rosenkavalier Strauss (+1 More)

Voice consultant Siegfried Gohritz is currently working on German repertoire for our upcoming semi-staged production of scenes from Rosenkavalier (R. Strauss) and Die Entführung aus dem Serail (W. A. Mozart) on March 9.
Prof Gohritz is highly appreciated by singers as well as reps working with him at Mascarade, for his out-of-the-box approach and ability to help them look at challenges from a different perspective, not to mention his contagious sense of humour.
Dr Ralph Strehle, while being the Director of the Mascarade programme, is a performance coach. 
Ralph works on effective practice techniques, performance profiling and preparation for auditions and competitions. 
In these past few weeks he’s been working with our singers preparing for upcoming auditions and the Ensemble Scenes concert coming up on March 9.

The Opera Scenes concerts are back at Fondazione Mascarade!
Among excerpts of the three operas on stage 9 March will be Don Carlos.
Composed by Giuseppe Verdi, “Don Carlos” debuted with a French libretto by Joseph Méry e Camille du Locke in 1867 at the Opéra national de Paris.
Don Carlos, infante of Spain, secretly travels to France hoping to meet his future spouse Elisabeth, daughter of the king of Spain, in disguise. Their wedding shall at last bring peace between the two countries at war. Carlos falls in love with Elisabeth and reveals who he truly is. But Elisabeth is actually to marry King Philip II, Carlo’s father.

𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐊𝐀𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐑
A scene from the Rosenkavalier, comic opera composed by Richard Strauss to an original German libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal and first performed at the Königliches Opernhaus in Dresden in 1911, adds to the programme of our Opera Scenes concert on 9 March.
The opera opens with Marchallin and her lover, the young Octavian who, at the arrival of Baron Ochs, disguises as the silly maid of the house. Ochs has come to his cousin to ask for help in finding a knight of the rose (a young man from a good family who brings a rose to the bride as a sign of engagement) and begins to pester her.
The Marschallin proposes Octavian to give Sophie Faninal the silver rose, symbol of future marriage. The story unfolds between intrigues and duels, disguises and revelations up to the happy epilogue of the young lovers Octavian and Sophie.
