Synopsis
In Richard Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier we have a wonderful example of a hosenrolle or 'trouser role', a female singer portraying a male character in an opera. Strauss and other composers in opera history had a lot of fun with these roles, and it's time to explore how Octavian fits into the tradition.
