She made her name in Vienna and quickly became one of its leading prima donnas, appearing in the premieres of several operas. She made her debut with the Metropolitan Opera in New York in 1921 and appeared in a variety of major opera houses of France, England, Sweden, Denmark, Hungary and Russia. \n\nThis was one of two versions of the figurine issued by Augarten Pocelain, one more ornately painted than the other. It represents the character Octavian from Richard Strauss's colourful opera <i>Der Rosenkavalier</i>, 1911, a comic intrigue involving the aristocratic Marschallin, her young lover Octavian, her vulgar cousin Baron Ochs and his prospective fiancée Sophie.  Octavian is seen here in the traditional casting of a girl dressed as a boy, handing the silver rose in Act II of the opera to Sophie as they instantly fall in love.\n\r\n","physicalDescription":"Glazed porcelain figurine representing Maria Jeritza as Octavian in Richard Strauss's opera <i>Der Rosenkavalier</i>, standing on a circular white base decorated with a gilt line, in a powdered wig fastened with a black bow, holding her sword with her left hand and the silver rose in her right hand, wearing white breeches, waistcoat, jabot, knee-length jacket and buckled shoes.
