Der Rosenkavalier
The opera was beautiful.
As the lights dim, and the curtains open it’s as if you are transported into a different era. The sets was amazing, with the different levels and all the detail.
The costumes that were worn gave an extra piece of information about the characters to the audience. Marie Thérèse von Werdenberg wore peach, corset gown, and this made her look very elegant. On the gown there were small detailing and embroidery in gold that gave off a sense of effortless beauty. She is after-all an more mature woman and very knowledgeable and her attire attested to this.
Baron Ochs auf Lerchenau was an obnoxious character. He needed everyone to know when he entered the room. He wore a bright red and gold piece in the second act. The red gave a sense of wealth and you could tell that he was from a higher class than some of other characters. But the extravagance of his attire also gave off the sense of him being the obnoxious character he was suppose to be.
