When I went to see Der Rosenkavalier last night, the last time I had seen the opera was in 1960. This production was infinitely better. All of the singers were in tune, the voices were wonderful, the stage direction and scenery were spectacular. The acting was smooth and beiievable. It was the best of the Met HD, European Grand Operas and the ill fated SFO Productions that I have seen and I have experienced nearly all of them. I would heartly recomment this production to seasoned opera buffs and to newcomers.
