More Details on R Strauss - Ariadne auf Naxos
This version of Strauss’s masterpiece was much acclaimed when it was first staged in Vienna on 4 October 1916 and is now the one that is usually seen and heard.
In the present production, Ariadne is sung by the American soprano Emily Magee, who has been acclaimed all over the world in works by both Wagner and Strauss, while the part of Bacchus is taken by the German-born Italian tenor Roberto Saccà, who is now regarded as one of the leading lyric tenors of his generation.
Both were making their role débuts under the subtle yet sensual conducting of Christoph von Dohnányi.
“Emily Magee as Ariadne and Roberto Saccà as Bacchus make, with their vocal charisma and technical care, an ideal couple. Christoph von Dohnanyi coaxes sounds of the highest distinction from the Zurich Opera Orchestra…..A great experience.” www.opera-guide.com
