Richard Strauss Der Rosenkavalier : comedy for music in three acts - Strauss, Richard; von Hofmannsthal, Hugo; Burgess, Anthony

Clean, tight, unmarked; long personal inscription on ffep - ink has some transfer to inside cover; otherwise very minimal wear; Hugo von Hofmannsthal's magical story, to which Strauss set his music in the first decade of this century, has been specially adapted for this volume by Anthony Burgess, himself a master novelist, composer, and literary critic. Included is the complete libretto in German and in English and a wealth of illustrations, featuring the story of Der Rosenkavalier in photographs selected from the Metropolitan Opera's production. A glittering masterpiece that has been a favorite in opera houses throughout the world since 1911.
