Ariadne auf Naxos Strauss

Munter opera om den nye lykke, der venter lige rundt om hjørnet

Richard Strauss’ geniale opera tager publikum med ind bag kulisserne og lader os se frustrationer og forsoning, når tragedie og komedie mødes og knuste hjerter heles på ny.

Strauss’ og Hofmannsthals genistreg behandler på satirisk vis kunstens og livets kvaler. Operaen bygger som mange af parrets andre værker på en græsk tragedie, og i deres operamaskine forvandles tragedien til en komisk opera.

Katie Mitchell er en af vor tids mest spændende, britiske instruktører og kendt for sine skarpe vinkler på operaklassikerne. I Mitchells opdaterede version af Ariadne på Naxos har et rigt par fra Wien i forbindelse med en stor fest bestilt et nykomponeret værk af en ung komponist og operasangere til at opføre værket. Et hold skuespillere er også hyret ind til at underholde gæsterne.

Men der er ikke tid nok til begge forestillinger, så de må opføres samtidigt. De vidt forskellige kunstnere konkurrerer i en forrygende tour-de-force, for hvad er vigtigst: en seriøs opera eller en letbenet komedie? Operatruppens bedrøvelige Ariadne ønsker kun at dø efter tabet af sin elskede Theseus. Skuespillerprimadonnaen Zerbinetta virker måske overfladisk ved første øjekast, men hun ved nok, hvad Ariadne har mest brug for, så tragedie og komedie forenes til sidst i harmoni. 

Ariadne på Naxos synges på tysk med danske overtekster.

I samarbejde med Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, Finnish National Opera og Opéra national de Paris.

dansk

A cheerful opera about the newfound happiness that awaits just around the corner
Richard Strauss’ brilliant opera invites the audience backstage where we experience grievance and reconciliation, all while tragedy collides with comedy, and broken hearts are mended anew.

This stroke of genius by Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal lampoons the anguishes of art and life. Like many of their other works, the opera is based on a Greek tragedy, and in their musical transformation, the tragedy has been turned into a comic opera.

Katie Mitchell is one of the most exciting British opera directors of our time and celebrated for her incisive approach to operatic classics. In Mitchell’s updated version of Ariadne auf Naxos, a wealthy Viennese couple have commissioned a new composition from a young composer and a group of opera singers to be performed at a large party. A cast of actors has also been hired to entertain the guests.

Since there is not enough time that evening for both performances they must be staged simultaneously. The very different artists involved compete in a whirlwind tour-de-force. After all, what is of most importance: a serious opera or a light-hearted comedy? The opera troupe’s sorrowful Ariadne only yearns for her death after the loss of her beloved Theseus, whereas the play’s prima donna, Zerbinetta, may seem shallow at first glance, but she knows what Ariadne really needs. Hence, tragedy and comedy finally unite in harmony.

Ariadne auf Naxos is performed in German with Danish supertitles. 

In collaboration with Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, the Finnish National Opera and Opéra national de Paris.
