Description:
This performance of Ariadne auf Naxos checks every box, delivering a richly satisfying account of Strauss’ deceptively intricate opera. Heather Harper brings poise and refinement to the title role, her silvery soprano soaring effortlessly through Strauss’ high-lying phrases. Ruth Welting is a winning Zerbinetta, combining earthy charisma with dazzling coloratura fireworks. Yvonne Minton offers a vibrant and emotionally charged Composer, and a young Thomas Allen makes a striking impression as Harlekin, already displaying the stage presence and vocal polish that would define his career.
