Richard Strauss: Ariadne auf Naxos Op.60 (Prologue Overture & Opera Overture) 1916 Prologue Overture 00:02 Opera Overture 2:38 Philharmonia Orchestra Herbert von Karajan EMI 1954 Ariadne auf Naxos (Ariadne on Naxos), Op. 60, is a 1912 opera by Richard Strauss with a German libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal. The opera's unusual combination of elements of low commedia dell'arte with those of high opera seria points up one of the work's principal themes: the competition between high and low art for the public's attention. Second version (1916) After these initial performances, it became apparent that the work as it stood was impracticable: it required a company of actors as well as an opera company, was thus very expensive to mount, and its length was likely to be a problem for audiences. So in 1913, Hofmannsthal proposed to Strauss that the play should be replaced by a prologue, which would explain why the opera combines a serious classical story with a comedy performed by a commedia dell'arte group. He also moved the action from Paris to Vienna. Strauss was initially reluctant, but he composed the prologue (and modified some aspects of the opera) in 1916, and this revised version was first performed at the Vienna State Opera on 4 October of that year. This is the version that is normally staged today, although the original play-plus-opera has been occasionally performed, such as at the 1997 Edinburgh International Festival and at the 2012 Salzburg Festival. The most important aria in either version is Zerbinetta's Großmächtige Prinzessin (High and mighty princess). Other important pieces of the opera are the arias of Ariadne Wo war ich? (Where was I?), Ein Schönes war (There was something beautiful) and Es gibt ein Reich (There is a realm). Also of note is the Composer's aria Sein wir wieder gut! (Let's be friends again). Performance history of the second version: After its premiere in Vienna, the second version was first performed in Berlin on 1 November 1916, followed by Zürich on 28 January 1917 (in a production by the Mannheim Opera). It was first presented in Budapest on 19 April 1919 (in a Hungarian translation by Z. Harsányi), and in German in Graz on 12 March 1920, Amsterdam in January 1924,[4] and London at the Royal Opera House on 27 May 1924 with Lotte Lehmann as Ariadne, Maria Ivogün as Zerbinetta (in her debut with the company), Elisabeth Schumann as the Composer, Karl Fischer-Niemann as Bacchus, and Carl Alwin conducting. Despite the stellar cast, the production was not successful, with one of the lowest box office returns of the season. It was repeated only once.
Edinburgh International Festival 2019 2020
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2019. Exploring all our favourite venues at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2019. I filmed this last August and forgot all about it - better late than never, and it might be helpful to anyone who's thinking of visiting the Edinburgh Festival in 2020. If you visit I can thoroughly recommend using the Fringe App which is a great way to see what's on and keep your Fringe shows organised. BUY ME a COFFEE :-) (http•••) All tips go towards funding more videos and films - thank you so much for your support :-) For more of our 'Must-See' places in Scotland visit (http•••) There are lots of major festivals held annually in Edinburgh, but the most well known and the biggest are, undoubtedly, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the Edinburgh International Festival. Both run alongside each other for around three weeks in August and together form the largest arts festival in the world. Essentially, the Edinburgh International Festival is 'invitation only' and hosts the more formal, large-scale and prestigious international events in opera, classical music, theatre and dance, while the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is a more informal, spontaneous arts festival for up-and-coming artists to try and make a name for themselves. The particularly wonderful thing about the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is its 'open access policy' - anyone can take part without being pre-vetted or selected. So, if you fancy bringing a show to the Fringe in 2020 there's nothing stopping you - go for it :-) For more of my 'Must-See' places to visit in Scotland, please visit my 'Adventures In Scotland' website at: (http•••) To be notified of new Adventures in Scotland videos don't forget to subscribe :-) #EdinburghFestivalFringe2019 #EdinburghFringe2019 #EdFringe #TheEdinburghFestival2019 David Wheater, The Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2019.
Sir Antonio Pappano Richard Strauss Stern Berlioz Isabel Leonard Magdalena Kožená Joyce Didonato Elbphilharmonie Hamburg Carnegie Hall Tanglewood Young Euro Classic Konzerthaus Berlin Edinburgh International Festival Bbc Proms Royal Concertgebouw Amsterdam 2019
Watch Sir Antonio Pappano lead NYO-USA in a performance of Richard Strauss’s “Eine Alpensinfonie,“ Op. 64, at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg in 2019. NYO-USA 2019 comprised 119 members—ages 16–19 and hailing from 33 US states—who were recognized by Carnegie Hall as some of the finest players in the country following a comprehensive national audition process. In preparation for its performance activities in the New York area and abroad, NYO-USA once again worked with an impressive list of principal players from many of the nation’s top professional orchestras during its training residency. Following a return to the Tanglewood Music Festival in Lenox, Massachusetts, Sir Antonio Pappano and NYO-USA took the stage Carnegie Hall for the orchestra’s annual concert in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage. The program included Strauss’s “Eine Alpensinfonie” and Berlioz’s “Les nuits d’été” featuring renowned mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard. The orchestra then departed to Europe for debut performances as part of the Young Euro Classic series at Konzerthaus Berlin with mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená, as well as the Edinburgh International Festival and Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, and a return to the BBC Proms and Royal Concertgebouw Amsterdam with mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato.

This version of the film has an Audio Description narration, and is preceded by a brief spoken introduction to give some background information and an overview of the main visuals. If you want to skip this, you can go straight to the start of the film at 02:46 The Telephone, or L'Amour à trois, is an opera in a single act, written for two singers and a hand-picked chamber ensemble. Menotti's 1947 work, last performed at the Edinburgh International Festival in 1984 by Washington Opera, brings together piquant humour with sly nods to the classics of grand opera. Multi-award-winning soprano Soraya Mafi and celebrated baritone Jonathan McGovern make their Edinburgh International Festival debuts as Lucy and Ben – the hapless couple whose love affair is repeatedly thwarted by a telephone. Pioneering young director Daisy Evans relocates Menotti’s mismatched lovers into today’s Edinburgh, as the story unfolds in and around the King’s Theatre. The opera becomes a witty commentary on our obsession with our mobile phones, reminding us to be present in the moments that matter. International Festival audiences are given the rare opportunity to hear this charming work performed by The Orchestra of Scottish Opera, conducted by Stuart Stratford, who has been the company’s Music Director since 2015. His expansive portfolio of acclaimed performances includes the European premiere of Missy Mazzoli’s Breaking the Waves at the 2019 Edinburgh International Festival. As a part of My Light Shines On, the Edinburgh International Festival has commissioned some of Scotland’s major national artistic companies to create extraordinary works that audiences can enjoy from their own homes. In a tribute to the enduring spirit of our Festival City, they bring light and life to sites that must stay empty this year. These unique performances for film reflect on what it means to keep a hopeful light burning in dark times.
