Strauss: Der Rosenkavalier

This beloved soprano star has been giving final performances of her best-known roles over the last few seasons. Following a run at London's Royal Opera House earlier this year, Fleming thrilled the Met audience with her last-ever performance as Marschallin in Strauss's "Rosenkavalier." This was one of her most celebrated roles, and this stunning production-which updates the setting to Vienna in 1911-won as much ardent acclaim for the performance of Fleming's co-star, Elina Garanca, as it did for her deeply emotional singing and brilliantly nuanced acting. Gorgeous music, an inspired production and a much raved-about performance, now available on Blu-ray or 2 DVDs! Decca.
