Unidentified orchestra pit
Does anyone recognise this pit?
Whilst researching various orchestra pits for a piece I am working on I came across this photo but the venue is not mentioned. The house itself looks renovated but the pit, although large seems old fashioned and the stage set relatively small. - Anyone any ideas?
PS. - Surely that must be a Rosenkavalier Act 1 set?

Well goodness, I never thought *I* would be the one to figure it out, and completely by accident! While working on a blog post (why yes!) I was on youtube for a Rosenkavalier clip…happened to look in the sidebar where they list the video suggestions and saw the exact staging as above.
It is indeed DR Act 1, and it’s at Vienna, and a very lovely soul has posted the entire thing, Lott/ASVO/Bonney (sigh…), conducted by Kleiber. Enjoy!
A puzzle solved, an hour of Der R and two little pink squares in my side bar … my life is complete!
Awww. You’re sweet!
