This Saturday at 7:30, we'll be broadcasting the Minnesota Orchestra's live performance of Der Rosenkavalier. Since its first performance 100 years ago, it's been a smash hit with the public. One reason is that each of its three acts has at least one passage where music, words and drama come together to create a foolproof moment of theater.
Here's one of them: the intimate Act I monologue sung by the Marschallin (a Viennese noblewoman), musing on marriages, aging, and the mysterious ways of the world.
