Strauss' comedic 'Ariadne' a delight (Baltimore Sun)

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Opera within an opera ends Wolf Trap season If the Three Stooges stumbled into an oh-so-serious performance of Hamlet and carried on as usual alongside the uncomprehending actors, the result would be something akin to Ariadne auf Naxos , the musically and theatrically brilliant work by Richard Strauss that serves as an invigorating finale to Wolf Trap Opera's season.

Totenreich 3: Mirkarimi Art Party (Civic Center)

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 22:03:00 GMT

The title for these trio of musings on death, "Totenreich," is taken from an aria in my favorite Richard Strauss opera, "Ariadne auf Naxos." The main action is an opera-within-an-opera about Ariadne being abandoned on the island of Naxos by her lover Theseus, where she sings gorgeously and gloomily in German about how she longs for death. "Es gibt ein Reich, wo alles rein ist:/Es hat...
