The first verse of one aria from this opera is sung as a solo, while the second verse is sung in counterpoint with two other characters arguing about a dowry; this aria is "Di rigori armato il seno". Minor characters include three noble orphans and the silent pageboy Mohammed. One character thinks he is bewitched when he sees faces everywhere. The same character sings a waltz in the scene "Da lieg' ich", which also sees (*) Annina swear revenge after not receiving a tip. One character is mistaken for his own illegitimate sister when he cross-dresses as the chambermaid Mariandel, although his part is actually played by a female singer. In this opera, Sophie von Faninal is engaged to the boorish Baron Ochs, but in the final duet "Ist ein Traum," ends up with the young lover of the middle-aged Marschallin instead. For 10 points, name this Strauss opera in which Octavian acts as the title flower-bearing knight.
