SUMMARY:Ariadne auf Naxos
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Few operas have more to say about remaining true (to yourself) 
 in matters of art and love than Ariadne auf Naxos: should you cling to the
  one you love unconditionally\, or remain open to new loves?\n\nJust befor
 e a young composer’s new opera is about to be premiered\, he learns that
  the wealthy but philistine patron who commissioned the piece wishes to ma
 ke some last-minute changes. His heroic opera about Ariadne\, tormented by
  lost love and yearning for death\, must be performed at the same time as 
 a piece by a burlesque troupe. In line with the patron’s wishes (and aga
 inst the composer’s will)\, the carefree Zerbinetta and her suitors are 
 inserted into the Ariadne opera. The result\, as Richard Strauss’s libre
 ttist Hugo von Hofmannsthal described it\, is a \"juxtaposition between th
 e woman who only loves once and the one who gives herself many times\". Th
 rough the archetypal opera characters\, a confrontation is staged between 
 two different models of love and life that is sometimes humorous and playf
 ul\, sometimes serious. The work also reflects on artistic questions such 
 as the coexistence of comedic and dramatic elements in opera\, and transpo
 rts the audience into the turbulent events behind the scenes of a fictiona
 l opera premiere.
