Ariadne auf Naxos

Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 19:00
Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)
Johannes Debus (Musical Director), Wolfram Koch (Theseus), Anja Kampe (Ariadne), Nadezhda Pavlova (Zerbinetta), Jamez McCorkle (Bacchus), Martin Gantner (Musiklehrer), Annika Schlicht (Komponist), Colin Aikins (Ein Offizier), William Desbiens (Perückenmacher), Keith Klein (Betrunkener Gast), Nicholas Mogg (Harlekin), Florian Panzieri (Scaramuccio), Daniel Kluge (Brighella), Olivia Warburton (Najade), Aebh Kelly (Dryade), Marie Maidowski (Echo), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra)
"It is a simple and tremendous problem of life: that of fidelity", is how Hugo von Hofmannsthal described the core of their third opera together, Ariadne auf Naxos, in a letter to Richard Strauss. To live does not mean to persevere and hold on to what has been lost. If you want to live, you have to let go, forget, get over yourself - constantly transform yourself. This is what a young opera composer experiences in this work when he is confronted with the stubborn wishes of his patron; just like the protagonist of his opera, Ariadne, who, abandoned by her lover, Theseus, expects only death. But things turn out differently... Strauss and Hofmannsthal let the opposites collide: Tragedy and comedy, light music and grand opera, playfulness and seriousness. Thus, in the mirroring of art and life, between gaze and gaze, the unfathomable mystery of transformation takes place. Musical Direction: Kent Nagano Production and stage: Dmitri Tcherniakov Costumes: Elena Zaytseva Light Design: Gleb Filshtinsky Dramaturgy: Angela Beuerle, Michael Sangkuhl, Tatiana Werestchagina
