Der Rosenkavalier is one of Strauss' best known operas. Set in Vienna during the early years of the Empress Maria Theresa's reign, the work takes the form of a comedy in 3 acts, set to an original German libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal. It bears a strong resemblance in terms of plot to Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro and is written in a different vein to Strauss's preceding avant-gardist creations, something the composer, appearing to have succumbed to popular taste, was heavily criticized for.
9 Muß Jetzt Partout Zu Ihr!... Ihre Hochfürstliche Gnaden
10 Lass' Er Nur Gut Sein Und Verschwind' Er
11 Leopold, Wir Geh'n!
12 Mein Gott, Es War Nicht Mehr Als Eine Farce
13 Marie There's'!... Hab' Mir's Gelobt
14 Ist Ein Traum, Kann Nicht Wirklich Sein
15 Ist Ein Traum... SPÜR Nur Dich
