Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier (The Knight of the Rose)

Glamorous characters and the seductive sounds of Richard Strauss in Cape Town


The famous lavish period opera, with glamorous characters and the seductive sounds of Richard Strauss’ grand opera, is a showpiece in every way.

The score has an opulence and shimmer, whether in the famous Presentation of the Rose or the whirling Viennese waltzes of Act II.

The combination of Strauss, this production and a splendid cast will make this a Night at the Opera to remember.

South African diva Andrea Catzel protrays a passionate woman in love with a younger man.

Presented by Cape Town Opera in association with the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra.
