Georg Solti
When Georg Solti was appointed music director of the Royal Opera in 1961, he intended to turn it into "the best house in the world". From this progressive and vital decade of Covent Garden's history came Solti's 1966 production of Der
Rosenkavalier by Strauss. Edward Seckerson introduces highlights from a of that production.
