At first glance, Hofmannsthal's libretto ARABELLA is a comedy of mistaken identity which, had it been composed by Rossini, could have been a snappy buffo opera. But the music of Richard Strauss, who pulls out all the stops of his orchestral art, from the late romantic intoxication to the most modern discord, creates a subtle, colorful panorama of a society in transition, whose late-bourgeois values ​​are crumbling. One's own identity and interpersonal relationships have to be tested from scratch. Central is – even more than the title character, who oscillates between romance and rebellion – Arabella's younger sister Zdenka, who, disguised as a man by her parents for lack of money for girls' clothes befitting their status, has to struggle all the more desperately with her/his role as an outsider.

For the director Tobias scratches and his team, the ambivalences of the characters up to the last quirky supporting character are a welcome source of inspiration to think about historical role models and modern identity. The detailed staging, in which the real plot is repeatedly contrasted, supplemented and commented on with cinematic virtuality, should give the viewer the opportunity to experience the musical richness with an often surprising change of perspective between private emotional chaos and social norms. With ARABELLA, Tobias Kratzer continues the collaboration with Sir Donald Runnicles, which began in 2019 with the acclaimed production of Zemlinsky's DER ZWERG.
