Richard STRAUSS (Composer): Der Rosenkavalier - Original 1912 Broadside

Description

[Strauss, Richard. (1864–1949)] [Margarethe Siems, Eva von der Osten]
Der Rosenkavalier - Original 1912 Broadside
Original 1912 broadside playbill from an April 9, 1912 performance of Strauss'
Der Rosenkavalier
at the Königliches Opernhaus in Dresden. The performance, directed by Georg Toller, starred sopranos Margarethe Siems and Eva von der Osten, who had starred in the premiere of the opera one year earlier. Overall toning, folding creases with some splits and tears; overall very good. 8.5 x 15 inches (21.8 x 38.2 cm).
Der Rosenkavalier
premiered in 1911 in Dresden under the baton of Ernst von Schuch, who had previously conducted the premieres of Strauss's
Feuersnot, Salome
and
Elektra
; Georg Toller was originally slated to produce the opera, but he backed out and was replaced by Max Reinhardt. Soprano Margarethe Siems (Strauss’s first Chrysothemis) sang the Marschallin, in a turn that would represent the pinnacle of her career, while Minnie Nast portrayed Sophie and Eva von der Osten sang the breeches role of Octavian. From the start,
Der Rosenkavalier
was nothing short of a triumph. Tickets to the premiere reportedly sold out almost immediately, resulting in a financial boom for the house.
