Ariadne auf Naxos – Trailer
Richard Strauss’s ‘Ariadne auf Naxos’ sees an extraordinary new production premiere today at the Salzburg Festival. Director Ersan Mondtag and conductor Manfred Honeck combine Strauss’s masterpiece with a visionary tale of the future: on Mars, a small community attempts to make a fresh start through art, music and the cultural achievements of Earth.
Somewhere between myth and science fiction, Ariadne’s longing, Zerbinetta’s zest for life and the timeless power of music come together in a production that asks what will remain of humanity.
