Der Rosenkavalier explained

Tomorrow night our colleagues at Classical MPR will broadcast the Minnesota Orchestra performing the Richard Strauss opera Der Rosenkavalier .

It's a complicated plot, and when it comes to matters operatic we at MPR often turn to Classical MPR Music Director Rex Levang for wisdom. Now he's sharing with a larger audience, explaining everything with a few deft strokes of a marker on a whiteboard.

If you'd like much more detail, you can find it on the Classical MPR blog. Happy listening!
