May 22nd - June 17th, 2008
Richard Strauss's acclaimed Viennese opera gets its first showing in the capital in a limited run starting later this month.
Hosted by the English National Opera at the London Coliseum, Der Rosenkavalier has toured slowly from the north of the country, What's on When reports.
Starting with a production by the Scottish Opera nearly a decade ago, the opera has also seen renditions by Opera North, with Edward Gardner conducting for the Coliseum performance.
Opening on May 22nd, Der Rosenkavalier will show on various dates continuing in to the following month, with a final performance on June 17th.
For those wishing to attend, there are a range of tickets still available online via the English National Opera website, with balcony seats starting at £10.
According to the Financial Times, David McVicar's production "ranked as one of his supreme achievements".
On the opening and closing nights, there will also be pre-performance talks from Julian Johnson and John Deathridge, with tickets available for the lecture priced at £4.
