Approved

A newly rich Viennese is planning a major cultural event in his house and has commissioned both a comedy and a tragic opera for it. He arbitrarily decides that both works should be performed at the same time. While the young composer is desperate about the decision, the comedian Zerbinetta takes on the challenge and sums up the following performance of the opera as follows: “The piece goes like this: A princess has been abandoned by her bridegroom and her next suitor has not yet arrived […] We are a lively company that happens to be on the island […] as soon as an opportunity arises, we step on and join the action. ”
Hugo von Hoffmannsthal and Richard Strauss interweave in their Ariadne auf Naxosthe tragic sphere of opera seria with elements of Italian stand-up comedy. In doing so, Strauss not only treats the voices of his singers, but also his chamber orchestra with virtuosity, unfolds the magic of sound associated with his name and creates a winking gem about the effect of theater and music as well as the conflict between pragmatism and idealism as sources of Art production.
