About this copy
Der Rosenkavalier (The Rose-Bearer) By Hugo von Hofmannsthal, music by Richard Strauss, Op. 59. English version by Alfred Kalisch.
Published by Boosey & Hawkes Music Publishers Limited, London. Richard Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier is one of the great comic operas of the twentieth century, a glittering Viennese romance of mistaken identities, silver rose presentations and tender farewells. Hofmannsthal's libretto and Strauss's sumptuous score combine to create a work that has delighted audiences for over a century, and this libretto makes it easy to follow every turn of the plot.
This handy paperback libretto presents the text with English and German words side by side, making it ideal for opera-goers, students and anyone who wants to savour the wit and romance of the piece. The distinctive green and cream pattern cover is very appealing.
Condition
- Book
- Good. The covers are clean and bright with the green pattern still strong, and the text block is sound. Light edge and corner wear and some minor shelf wear to the spine.
A pre-owned book; any wear beyond that described is minor and in keeping with its age.
Collector's notes
- Libretto with English and German words, a practical companion for performances.
- Published by Boosey & Hawkes, London; copyright 1911 and 1912 by Adolph Furstner, assigned 1943 to Boosey & Hawkes.

A lovely copy, ready for its next reader.
