Ariadne auf Naxos at Berlin State Opera Tickets
Enjoy the brilliance of Ariadne auf Naxos, Richard Strauss' dazzling opera that plays with the collision of high tragedy and light comedy, live at the Berlin State Opera. With a libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, the work is one of 20th-century opera's most inventive meditations on love, art, and the power of performance itself.
In the Prologue, a young composer's new opera is hijacked by a wealthy patron who demands it be performed simultaneously with a comedic burlesque troupe led by Zerbinetta. The resulting opera-within-an-opera juxtaposes abandoned Ariadne's longing for death against Zerbinetta's playful philosophy of new loves — a dazzling dialogue of voices, wit, and emotion.
Director Hans Neuenfels's iconic production features Camilla Nylund as Ariadne and Serena Sáenz as Zerbinetta, with the Staatskapelle Berlin under conductor Eun Sun Kim. The result is a night of opera at its most theatrically alive.
