Expand German Der Rosenkavalier 1926 date January 2011 Der Rosenkavalier is a 1926 Austrian silent film of the Der Rosenkavalier opera of the same name by Richard Strauss music and Hugo von Hofmannsthal libretto . Directed by Robert Wiene , it premiered on 10 January 1926 at the Dresden Semperoper , which had also hosted the actual opera s premiere 15 years earlier. The music during the film s performances was provided by an orchestra. At the premiere, this was conducted by Richard Strauss himself. The film s projection speed had to be adjusted by the projector in order to fit the speed of the orchestra. This task fell to the film s camerman, Hans Androschin , because only he knew the exact length of each scene and cut. In later performances, a special recording, also conducted by Strauss, provided the music. A planned tour of the United States in 1927 by Strauss and his orchestra failed to go ahead because of the emergence of sound film s.
