ARIADNE AUF NAXOS
Richard Strauss, composer; Hugo von Hofmansthal, libretto
Hilarity and misadventure ensue when two productions—one a grand opera and the other a comedic farce—are forced to perform their shows simultaneously. For our annual opera production we present an enchanting masterpiece by Richard Strauss which satirizes showbusiness as it explores the widest range of musical and theatrical possibility, from monumental Greek Tragedy to irreverent Commedia dell’arte.
