Ariadne Auf Naxos was written by Richard Strauss in 1912, and is unique in that it deliberately combines low and high art elements to comment on the relationship between artists and the wider public. Strauss first composed the opera as a small piece meant to act as an intermission for larger plays and musicals. An early version of Ariadne Auf Naxos premiered at the Hoftheater Stuttgart in 1912. Strauss continued to develop the work, making substantial revisions equivalent to a rewrite in 1916. The second version is the one most widely known today, and premiered at the Vienna State Opera the year of the rewrite. It would continue playing at the opera house for over fifteen years.

People should choose seats in the middle orchestra or mezzanine for the best acoustic experience because opera houses have sound systems that transmit sound efficiently to these areas. The rear orchestra and balcony sections offer affordable seating choices at the expense of slightly reduced sound quality.
