Music by Richard Strauss
Libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal

“The world is wondrous; those who dare, find only beauty here.”

What happens when an opera company and a comedy troupe are spontaneously forced to combine their acts and perform together? With the full cast of characters crammed backstage by a haughty host, our leading ladies – a dramatic soprano and a feisty actress – navigate telling two tales as one.

Opera Omaha’s first-ever opera by Richard Strauss features Principal Guest Conductor Steven White joined by acclaimed director Chas Rader-Shieber with a terrific cast including Marcy Stonikas as Ariadne, Elizabeth Sutphen as Zerbinetta, Robert Stahley as Bacchus, and Stephanie Lauricella as the Composer.
