Der Rosenkavalier Reviews

Under the conducting of Herbert Von Karajan, the Vienna State opera Ballet, the State Opera Chorus and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra combine to give a colorful and inspiring performance of Richard Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier. The film is appealing to even the most casual of opera fans and will be instrumental in converting first-time listeners to the joys of grand opera. Seasoned opera buffs delighted in this three hour and 14 minute extravaganza. Dr. Paul Czinner, who brought the Bolshoi Ballet out of Russia to further their worldwide acclaim, produced and directed this artful film entry.
