A purchaser's review:

"Der Rosenkavalier is a comedy about love and human nature, set in the Vienna of Empress Maria Theresa.

The plot is basically about how a lecherous womaniser get his comeuppance, but there is food for thought for many of the characters. The characters are very well-drawn, and you will likely recognize similarities with people you have known.

Ildiko Komlosi does a marvelous job in the "trouser role" of Octavian, both with her singing and her acting (best swordwork I've seen in an Octavian).

The Marschallin (Elizabeth Whitehouse) is properly regal throughout. Costuming is beautiful and bright.

Another bright spot is Daniel Lewis Williams, as Baron Ochs. He's the youngest I've seen to play the baron, but he brings a more energetic strutting, dancing, and leering, which makes him wonderful for the role."
