With The Knight of the Rose, Richard Strauss succeeded in capturing the elegance and sophistication of imperial Vienna through his waltzes and dazzling orchestration. Premiered in 1911, this opera became an immediate success, establishing Strauss as one of the great names in 20th-century music. Now, the overture to this work arrives in Barcelona performed by the Vienna Philharmonic, featuring Renaud Capuçon on violin and conducted by Petr Popelka. The evening is completed with works by Josef Strauss, Mendelssohn, and Beethoven.
