Visually and musically stunning, this new European design of Ariadne auf Naxos is a feast for the senses.
At a dinner party given by the richest man in the country, two rival performing troupes - one, a serious opera company, the other, a group of burlesque performers - are forced to create a mash-up of their polar-opposite productions when the dinner runs late - with hilarious results.
Featuring eye-popping, larger-than-life set and costume designs by Gary McCann, this production dazzles on every front.
This production of Ariadne auf Naxos was originally created for the Dutch National Touring Opera (Nederlandse Reisopera).
