Share this event:

In commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Richard Strauss, Connecticut Lyric Opera and the Connecticut Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra present the Connecticut premiere of Der Rosenkavalier.  The bittersweet comic opera by Richard Strauss and librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal muses over the passing of time and love, and contains some of the composer's most lyrical and enchanting music.
