EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of triumph on the first night of the world premiere of Richard Strauss's opera "Rosenkavalier" at the Semperoper in Dresden, Germany, on January 26, 1911. The esteemed composer, Richard Strauss (1st from right), is seen beaming with pride as he stands among the VIPs of the night. Max Reinhardt (3rd from left, back), the production's director, looks on approvingly. Behind Strauss, Hofmannsthal (librettist, not pictured), the brilliant wordsmith who penned the opera's libretto, watches the scene unfold with a satisfied expression. Other distinguished guests, including the conductor Felix Mottl (far left), the impresario Carl Rosenthal (2nd from left), and the singers Bumpe Deiz (Rosenkavalier), Lotte Lehmann (Sophie), and Alexander Girardi (Oktavian), are also present. The successful premiere of "Rosenkavalier" would go down in history as one of the most significant moments in the annals of opera, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the excitement and anticipation of that unforgettable night. The opulent setting, with its grand chandeliers and ornate decor, adds to the sense of occasion and grandeur. This image is a testament to the enduring power of music and the collaborative efforts of the brilliant minds behind it.
