Lyric Opera Lecture: Ariadne auf Naxos by Richard Strauss

Get a tune stuck in your head! The Lyric Opera of Chicago's 2011-2012 season is underway. This time it's Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos under the microscope of lecturer George Meschel.

The richest man in Vienna is planning a wild party, and his guests and the audience will be treated to a blend of comedy and drama when the two planned operas start simultaneously in order to be punctual for the fireworks.

Lyric Opera Lectures provide opportunities to learn about unfamiliar works, gain new insights on old favorites, and hear the ideas and opinions of the artists involved.
