The richest man in Vienna is hosting a party. His guests will be treated to a new opera � the tragedy of the jilted Ariadne � followed by a burlesque farce, The Fickle Zerbinetta and Her Four Lovers. When dinner runs late, the patron orders that both works be staged simultaneously.

What follows is a musical class war as the players perform a quirky mash-up of high-brow opera and earthy comedy. Strauss has a field day with melody, tossing off playful roulades and sizzling coloratura, unveiling a kaleidoscope of lush orchestral textures and colours.

ARIADNE AUF NAXOS is directed by Oriol Tomas with conductor Timothy Vernon and the Victoria Symphony
