Knights of the Rose Jousting Troupe. Welcome to the official Fan Page for the all-female jousting troupe, The Knights of the Rose! Meet our Head Squire, Captain Van Lier! Captain Van Lier has been squiring for 12 years now, and his skills rival.Rosenkavalier, Der (The Knight of the Rose)Richard Strauss. Octavian, taking advantage of the absence of the Field- Marshal hunting, would like to prolong the moment, but must hide as a servant brings breakfast for the Princess. They hear the sound of someone approaching, and Octavian hides behind a screen. Instead of the Field- Marshal, whose return they had feared, it is Baron Ochs von Lerchenau, the Marschallin’s cousin, who eventually bursts in, while Octavian disguises himself as a maid, but is unable to escape the attentions of the Baron. Knights of the Pelican and Eagle, and Sovereign Prince Rose Croix of Heredom Many a Mason will seek to defend the compatibility of Freemasonry with Christianity by pointing to this degree - sometimes referred to by Masons as the 'Christian. The Baron seeks the Marschallin’s help in finding a Knight of the Rose to take the traditional token of intended marriage to Sophie von Faninal on his behalf. She proposes her cousin Octavian, Count Rofrano, as an emissary.
There follows the Marschallin’s lev. When they have gone, she recalls her own early marriage and realises that Octavian will soon turn his attention to a younger woman. Octavian goes, and the Marschallin sends after him, then despatching her page to him with the silver rose, which he will know what to do with. The second act opens in the Grand Hall of Herr von Faninal’s house. Sophieawaits the arrival of the Knight of the Rose and is immediately attracted to Octavian, while repelled by the boorish manners of the Baron, who follows. Sophie’s aversion and her feelings for Octavian lead her to refuse marriage with the Baron, who is slightly hurt in an immediate duel with Octavian. The intriguers Valzacchi and Annina, employed by the Baron but annoyed at his meanness, now offer their services to Octavian, who sends Annina with a note to the Baron making an assignation with Mariandel, the identity he had assumed to escape from the Marschallin’s bedroom. In the third act, set in an inn near Vienna, the assignation takes place, with the Baron now confronted by a series of staged apparitions, culminating in the appearance of Annina disguised as his abandoned wife. The Baron summons the police and matters reach a degree of complication that is solved only by the intervention of the Marschallin, who now unselfishly encourages the love of Sophie and Octavian. Der Rosenkavalier evokes a past Vienna in music of great poignancy and beauty, with Strauss, like Brahms, able to encompass moods of autumnal sadness, epitomised in the love and self- sacrifice of the 3. Marschallin for the 1. Octavian. Baron Ochs, who has a penchant for memorable waltzes, is a splendid comic figure, uncouth in manner and to be pitied, nevertheless, in his final discomfiture. The work is scored for a large orchestra and waltz sequences from the second and third acts are popular in the concert hall. The presentation of the silver rose in the second act brings a particularly moving moment, with Octavian’s hesitant Mir ist die Ehre widerfahren (To me has been given the honour). The young lovers are left together as the third act comes to a close, with Sophie wondering if love is a dream, Ist ein Traum, kann nicht wirklich sein (It is a dream, it cannot really be true).
