"Ariadne auf Naxos" at Winter Opera Saint Louis on Jan 27 & 29

Can grand opera and madcap slapstick coexist onstage?

The richest man in Vienna seems to think so, as long as the fireworks at his party can go off at nine o’clock sharp!

Winter Opera Saint Louis invites you to experience the intersection of high and low art in Richard Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos, which opens next weekend. Artistic Director Gina Galati and Music Director Steven Jarvi have assembled a cast and crew of artists from across the country to bring this beloved opera to St. Louis audiences. Performances take place on Friday, January 27th at 8pm and Sunday, January 29th at 3pm at the Saint Louis Woman’s Club (4600 Lindell Boulevard). Production sung in German with projected English supertitles.

TICKETS may be purchased by calling Winter Opera Saint Louis at 314-865-0038 or online at http://winteroperastl.tix.com/ Why not consider adding a sumptuous dinner to your opera jaunt? Tickets for dinner at the Woman’s Club before the Friday performance or after the Sunday performance are also on sale!
