All Der Rosenkavalier Information:

Der Rosenkavalier is a comic opera in three acts by Richard Strauss to an original German libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal. It is loosely adapted from the novel Les amours du chevalier de Faublas by Louvet de Couvrai and Molière’s comedy Monsieur de Pourceaugnac. It was first performed at the Königliches Opernhaus in Dresden on 26 January 1911 under the direction of Max Reinhardt. Until the premiere, the working title was Ochs von Lerchenau. (The choice of the name Ochs is not accidental, for in German Ochs is translated as ox, which depicts the character of the Baron throughout the opera.)

The opera has four main characters: the aristocratic Marschallin, her younger lover Octavian Rofrano, her coarse cousin Baron Ochs, and Och's young prospective fiancée Sophie. In Act 1, Ochs asks the Marschallin to suggest an appropriate young man to be his Knight of the Rose, who will take a silver rose to Sophie on his behalf, and she recommends Octavian. Following the presentation of the rose at the start of Act 2, Ochs behaves boorishly towards Sophie. She is defended by Octavian, who has fallen in love with her (and she with him). He wounds Ochs and plots revenge on him. Meanwhile, Sophie's father is horrified and threatens to send her to a convent. In Act 3, Ochs flirts with a supposed servant of the Marschallin (actually Octavian in disguise) in an inn, but he is subjected to a series of humiliations which result in the arrival of the police. He pretends that the "servant" is Sophie, but she and her father appear and contradict him. The Marschallin arrives and restores order as the defeated Ochs flees. Seeing that the young people are in love, she and Sophie's father give them their blessing.
