Opera Omaha - Ariadne Auf Naxos

Opera Omaha presents Ariadne Auf Naxos, Richard Strauss's opera that blends high drama with commedia dell'arte. This production offers a look at the interplay between art forms, with the opera seria's tragic heroine often interrupted by a troupe of comedic players. It's a thoughtful piece that explores the nature of performance and storytelling. The performance takes place on Friday, March 19, 2027, at the Orpheum Theater in Omaha. The Orpheum is a classic opera house setting, well-suited for a work of this scale and theatricality. It’s an evening for those who appreciate traditional opera with a clever, self-referential twist.
