Ariadne Auf Naxos is a landmark opera by Richard Strauss with a libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal. Premiered in Stuttgart in 1912, and revised in Vienna in 1916, the work blends high art with popular entertainment in the distinctive form of an opera-within-an-opera. Set in German, the piece explores the tension between opera seria and commedia dell’arte, delivering vivid roles for leading sopranos and mezzo-sopranos alike.
