Conducted by Christian Thielemann, "Der Rosenkavalier" staged in Shanghai for Asian premiere!

Shanghai has once again cemented its status as a premier global cultural hub as the Berlin State Opera brings the landmark Asian premiere of Richard Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier to the city. This prestigious staging underscores Shanghai's growing significance as an international center for world-class performing arts, drawing top-tier global institutions to its stages.

The production's seamless landing was powered by the advanced stage systems at the Shanghai Grand Opera House. As early as late October, while the Mariinsky Theatre was still performing Aida, Der Rosenkavalier had already entered its stage-setting phase. Relying on the Red Hall's massive 3,500-square-meter "six-grid" stage—the largest of its kind in Asia—the two major opera productions successfully transitioned within the exact same cycle.

Opening with Orientalism-infused settings that transport audiences back to a charity gala a century ago, this version premiered at the Berlin State Opera in 2020. The production's Asian debut has drawn numerous seasoned opera enthusiasts eager to experience an authentic German artistic interpretation. Running from November 7 to 12, Der Rosenkavalier and complete Beethoven piano concerto concerts are taking turns performing at the venue, offering audiences a rare and immersive feast of classical masterworks.
