On January 26, 1911, The Richard Strauss opera Der Rosenkavalier premiered in Dresden, Germany, at the Königliches Opernhaus under the direction of Max Reinhardt, with Ernst von Schuch conducting. Until the premiere, the working title was Ochs auf Lerchenau. (The choice of the name Ochs is not accidental, as "Ochs" means "ox", which describes the Baron's manner.)

The film of the Der Rosenkavalier opera (link below) was made by the J. Arthur Rank Organisation who used the Gongman as their logo. The Gongman logo first appeared on films distributed by General Film Distributors, which was established in 1935 by the British producer C. M. Woolf and J. Arthur Rank; it was C.M. Woolf's secretary who thought of the man-with-a-gong trademark. When the Rank Organisation was established in 1937, with General Film Distributors as one of its cornerstones, the logo was adopted for the whole organization.
