Summary note
Jessye Norman is a regal Ariadne, the mythological Greek heroine in this opera-within-an-opera, opposite the passionate Bacchus of the great James King. Kathleen Battle delivers the coloratura fireworks of Zerbinetta, the leader of a commedia dell'arte troupe that finds itself stranded on Ariadne's island. Tatiana Troyanos and Franz Ferdinand Nentwig star as the young Composer and the Music Master in the opera's prologue. James Levine brings out all the color and charm of Strauss's brilliant chamber-sized score with its equal amounts of pathos and humor. Bodo Igesz's production features sets by esteemed designer Oliver Messel.

Opening credits
Prologue: Introduction ; Mein Herr Haushofmeister ; Hier finden Euer Gnaden ; Eselsgesicht ; Wer ist dieses entzückende Mädchen ; Hast ein Stückerl Notenpapier? ; Im Gegenteil ; Ihnen allen habe ich ; Ich weiß nicht wo mir der Kopf steht ; Der Ariadne müssen Sie streichen ; Sie hält ihn für den Todesgott ; Sie gibt sich dem Tod hin! ; Ein Augenblick ist wenig ; An ihre Plätze-- Seien wir wieder gut ; Was ist das?
Curtain bows
Overture
Schläft sie?
Wo war ich
Wie jung und schön
Ein Schönes war
Lieben, Hassen
Es gibt ein Reich
Die Dame gibt mit trübem Sinn
Großmächtige Prinzessin
Noch glaub' ich dem einem
Hübsch gepredigt aber tauben Ohren
Eine Störrische zu trösten
Ein schönes Wunder
Circe, Circe-- Töne, Töne
Doch da ich unverwandelt
Circe, Circe
Ich grüße dich
Das waren Zauberworte
Gibt es kein Hinüber?
Du! Alles du!
Töne, töne
Was hängt mir
Deiner hab ich um alles bedurft
