Summary note
Elijah Moshinsky's witty production deftly walks the line between the lighthearted humor and the profound philosophical underpinnings of Strauss and Hofmannsthal's opera, masterfully conducted here by Met Music Director James Levine. Deborah Voigt stars as Ariadne, the mythical heroine abandoned on the island of Naxos by her lover, and Richard Margison is Bacchus, the young god who eventually takes her away to a new life. The spectacular Natalie Dessay as Zerbinetta leads the troupe of comedians who unsuccessfully try to cheer Ariadne up. Susanne Mentzer is delightful as the young Composer of the opera-within-the-opera, and Wolfgang Brendel sings the Music Master.

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
