Ariadne auf Naxos - Schedule, Program & Tickets

Opera in one act with a prologue
Text by Hugo von Hofmannsthal

Content:
When the planned performance of his opera seria Ariadne auf Naxos in the palace of a nouveau riche Viennese is combined with the dance masquerade of an Italian comedy troupe, the young composer is initially desperate.
The fact that he agrees is mainly thanks to the dancer Zerbinetta. In the opera itself we meet Ariadne, abandoned and desperate. Only the god Bacchus succeeds in bringing her back to life. In the mystical union of the two, there is still room for Zerbinetta's mockery: "When the new god comes, we are surrendered and silent!"
