A silver rose and a lot of enthusiasm. This music blossoms with grand gestures and exudes the delightful freshness of summer and the splendor of the Viennese waltz in the cold season. Almost 114 years ago, "Der Rosenkavalier" had its premiere in Dresden – today we embark on a journey of discovery through the orchestra: How did Richard Strauss manage to create such enchanting sounds? Meanwhile, Phili is searching for the "Woman without a Shadow" – and finds music that is full of images and great moments. The Dresden Philharmonic is performing on this day with a very large ensemble of almost 100 musicians. It could be an unforgettable musical experience.
