About the show
The richest man in Vienna has commissioned an evening’s entertainment. But when a tragic opera and a comedy troupe are forced to share the same stage, all bets are off. Strauss’ opera-within-an-opera is part farce, part dream-like fantasy, set to one of his most luscious scores.
Laurent Pelly returns to Glyndebourne to direct this new staging, with Robin Ticciati conducting the London Philharmonic Orchestra. The cast includes Rachel Willis-Sørensen as Ariadne, Samantha Hankey as Composer and David Butt Philip as Bacchus. Alina Wunderlin returns to perform another key coloratura role as Zerbinetta, after impressing as Queen of the Night in Festival 24.
Sung in German with English supertitles.
