Der Rosenkavalier
The Opera was absolutely beautiful, both in the artistry and the set and costume design. The sets were incredibly elaborate, especially the Marshalin’s bed chamber, complete with huge bay windows. The set was designed to evoke the royal courts of the eighteenth century, though the opera was written in a later century. The set immediately established the characters as well as the setting. The luxury present signaled to the audience that the characters are wealthy and powerful.
