Ariadne auf Naxos 2026 – Behind the scenes with Echo

Sometimes the magic begins where the audience cannot see it.

High above the stage, Echo waits for her cue. She is slowly lowered from above and becomes part of the extraordinary visual world that Ersan Mondtag has created for ARIADNE AUF NAXOS.

What appears weightless on stage for a few brief moments is, behind the scenes, the result of the utmost concentration, precise timing and the combined efforts of many people.

A glimpse behind the scenes – and at everything that has to happen before a special moment on stage can come to life.
