- SWEET STUFF: Renée Fleming’s signature role as the Marschallin inspired a delicious dish. The Metropolitan Opera will re-broadcast her 2010 performance this Wednesday.
The Metropolitan Opera has been re-broadcasting popular performances from its Live in HD series to local movie theaters throughout the summer. There have been a lot of great shows on the schedule, but we’re most intrigued by the last one which plays this Wednesday, July 25, at 6:30 p.m.: Der Rosenkavalier, originally broadcast in January 2010.
We’re not huge Strauss fans, but we’re eager to catch it since we’ve never even seen it before, and it is superstar Renée Fleming’s signature role after all. There’s even a popular dessert named in honor of her performance in the lead role of the Marschallin!
