Chicago City Opera Presents: Der Rosenkavalier (Strauss)

Chicago City Opera invites you aboard for a sparkling new take on Der Rosenkavalier (The Rose Knight)! Richard Strauss’s beloved opera shimmers with lush melodies, mistaken identities, and romance that refuses to behave. Though treasured worldwide, this operatic gem is rarely staged, making this a can’t-miss event.

Set in an American yachting community of the 1980s, this stylish reimagining brings champagne-soaked parties, high society scandals, and a proposal that hilariously unravels. Beneath the elegance lies sharp wit and a story full of flirtation, mischief, and unexpected twists.

Rated PG-13 for cheeky fun and some naughty hijinks among the upper crust, this production promises laughter, charm, and a few surprises along the way.

Step into a world of decadence and delight as Chicago City Opera serves up this effervescent Silver Rose of an opera, refined, ridiculous, and utterly irresistible.

Join us on Friday June 5th at DANK Haus German American Cultural Center or on Sunday June 7th at Fulton Street Collective!
