Opera in one act with a prelude / Libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal / In German with surtitles Unpredictable and intricate like the labyrinth of the Cretan king Minos, whose daughter Ariadne helped Prince Theseus, who came from Athens, to escape from it with a thread, also appears Richard Strauss' opera "Ariadne auf Naxos". At least in appearance, because for theater professionals the look behind the scenes discussed in the first part of one, no, actually two, imminent performances is something of a home game. How the participants in a dance masquerade and a tragedy are set against each other by a certain »gracious gentleman« with the arbitrariness of the powerful is as timelessly authentic as it is ultimately irrelevant. Because when the curtain rises on the actual opera, proves once again that the art of theater and music are able to effortlessly overcome what confronts quarrelsome, self-serving, greedy people who ultimately just want to be loved with insurmountable obstacles. Ariadne, who had saved Theseus from certain death out of love and only against the promise of marriage, sees herself abandoned by him from behind. An improv theater group led by the lightning-smart Zerbinetta, who "coincidentally is on the desert island," suddenly bursts into her abysmal depression. But before anything like a friendly relationship can develop between the two protagonists, a completely new, ecstatic perspective is announced for Ariadne. And Strauss wouldn't be Strausshttps://bit.ly/TB_Ariadne

Richard Strauss' opera Ariadne auf Naxos is as unpredictable and intricate as the labyrinth of the Cretan King Minos, whose daughter Ariadne helped Prince Theseus, who came from Athens, to escape from it with a thread.

Ariadne, who had saved Theseus from certain death out of love and only against the promise of marriage, sees herself abandoned by him from behind. An improv theater group led by the lightning-smart Zerbinetta, who "coincidentally is on the desert island," suddenly bursts into her abysmal depression. But before anything like a friendly relationship can develop between the two protagonists, a completely new, ecstatic perspective is announced for Ariadne. And Strauss wouldn't be Strauss if he didn't pull out all the stops in his glittering late-Romantic musical wonder box for this finale...
