Ariadne auf Naxos
1912 opera by Richard Strauss / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the opera by Georg Benda, see Ariadne auf Naxos (Benda).
Ariadne auf Naxos (Ariadne on Naxos), Op. 60, is a 1912 opera by Richard Strauss with a German libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal.[1] The opera's unusual combination of elements of low commedia dell'arte with those of high opera seria points up one of the work's principal themes: the competition between high and low art for the public's attention.
