ROSENKAVALIER, DER

Soprano Lise Davidsen stars as the Marschallin, alongside mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey as Octavian, and soprano Erin Morley as Sophie
 

Leading international soprano Lise Davidsen was critically acclaimed for her role debut as the Marschallin in Strauss’s DER ROSENKAVALIER. The all-star cast also includes mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey in her company role debut as the Marschallin’s young lover, the trouser role Octavian. Soprano Erin Morley is Sophie, the innocent young woman who comes between the Marschallin and Octavian, and bass Günther Groissböck is the boorish Baron Ochs—both reprising their acclaimed performances seen in the 2017 Live in HD transmission. 

Maestro Simone Young, returning to the Met after 25 years, leads a cast that also features mezzo-soprano Katharine Goeldner as Annina, tenor René Barbera as the Italian Singer, tenor Thomas Ebenstein as Valzacchi, and baritone Brian Mulligan as Faninal. 

Robert Carsen’s elegant production from 2017—the Met’s first new staging of the piece since 1969—sets the action in Vienna in 1911, on the cusp of the First World War.
