Renée Fleming stars as the Marschallin alongside Diana Damrau as Sophie and Sophie Koch as Octavian in this production of Richard Strauss’s romantic comedy ‘Der Rosenkavalier’ for the 2009 Baden-Baden Festival. Christian Thielemann conducts the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra.
Diana Damrau floats gorgeously through Sophie’s high lines and plays this (unexpected) spitfire with hilarious menace, directing killer glances at the otiose Baron Ochs, her father’s choice for her husband.

Diana Damrau is luxury casting as Sophie, relishing the scent of the rose with some ravishing singing.
