Summary note
The great Jessye Norman is Ariadne, the mythological heroine abandoned by her lover on the island of Naxos. In Strauss and Hofmannsthal's charming opera-within-an-opera, she is joined by Ruth Ann Swenson as Zerbinetta, the flirtatious leader of a commedia dell'arte troupe that--by order of an eccentric patron--unexpectedly finds itself in the middle of Ariadne's tragic story. Thomas Moser sings Bacchus, the young god who wins Ariadne, and Susanne Mentzer is the Composer of the fictional opera. Wagnerian bass-baritone Thomas Stewart makes a late-career cameo appearance as the Music Master.

Contents
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 ; An ihre Plätze-- Seien wir wieder gut ; Was ist das?
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.
