Der Rosenkavalier live in HD will remain in my memory a musical highlight in a life full of opera. Gorgeous to look at and to listen to, this Met production hit all the right notes. The only flaw (and this is stretching) was perhaps that Renee Fleming was so young and beautiful that Octavian's final choice was hard to believe. Susan Graham as Octavian was born to play this role. The backstage intermission segments were fascinating. I felt the Met graciously welcomed the movie audience as part of the total production by bringing us backstage. Thanks to the Met for a wonderful afternoon.
