Tam Wah Ching Foundation sponsors: Der Rosenkavalier opera in concert

In 2005, Edo de Waart and the Hong Kong Philharmonic stunned Hong Kong audiences with concert performances of Richard Strauss’s scandalous early operas Salome and Elektra. For his next stage work, Strauss turned his back on shocking musical and dramatic violence and produced one of the most entertaining and glamourous operas in the repertoire. Der Rosenkavalier is a sweet tale of young love set against a background of fading beauty in the exquisite drawing rooms of 18th Century Vienna. Once again, a stellar cast has been assembled, headed by glorious German soprano Dagmar Schellenberger, the current reigning Marschallin at the Vienna State Opera, and featuring a show-stopping guest appearance by Hong Kong’s own operatic star Warren Mok.
