Krzysztof Warlikowski’s premiere of *Der Rosenkavalier* in Paris received a mixed reception, marked by audience boos as he presented a modern interpretation that challenges traditional gender roles and explores class dynamics. The production features Véronique Gens as a nuanced Marschallin, alongside strong performances from Peter Rose as Ochs and Niamh O’Sullivan as Octavian, all within an innovative set design blending various aesthetics. Despite conductor Henrik Nánási’s brisk pacing, the orchestral depth was underwhelming, leaving the performance rated ★★★★☆ until June 5.
