Irish National Opera presents: Der Rosenkavalier

Irish National Opera presents: Der Rosenkavalier

Saturday, 11 March 2023, 7.00pm

For four performances only: 5, 7, 9, and 11 March 2023 at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, Dublin. Book now.

A ravishing recreation of Richard Strauss’s nostalgic immersion in 18th-century Vienna, with the greatest-ever trio for female voices.

Love and lust. Culture and crudity. Disguise and deceit. Masters and servants. Opulence to die for. Raging hormones fuel the aristocratic intrigues in Richard Strauss’s indulgently Viennese celebration of the extravagant lifestyle of a bygone age. The orchestra is sumptuous. The sopranos soar with heart-stopping beauty. Operatic nostalgia doesn’t come any finer than this.

Starring Paula Murrihy, Celine Byrne and Claudia Boyle. 

Conducted by Fergus Sheil and directed by Bruno Ravella.

Sung in German with English surtitles.

Running time: 3 hours and 50 minutes including two intervals after Acts I and II.

Der Rosenkavalier…In Focus, a free online introduction with speaker Dr Michael Lee to the opera takes place on 2 March at 7pm.
