- Summary:
- Baron Ochs, having arranged with Sophie's father Faninal to combine his noble rank with Faninal's money by marrying Sophie, asks the Marschallin to suggest an appropriate young man to be his Knight of the Rose, who will present a silver rose to Sophie on his behalf as a traditional symbol of courtship. Marschallin recommends Octavian. When Octavian delivers the rose, he and Sophie fall in love on sight, and must figure out how to prevent Baron Ochs from marrying Sophie. The musical comedy has a deep-rooted performance tradition at the Salzburg Festival, but Robert Carsen's new reading opens up one more musical interpretation of this comedy of errors.
