About This Movie

Ariadne auf Naxos (2012) is an interesting blend of drama and music, anchored by Kaufmann's powerful Bacchus. The atmosphere is both whimsical and profound, a real treat for opera lovers. Rossacher's direction captures the essence of the live festival experience, with striking visuals that complement the Vienna Philharmonic’s lush sound. The pacing feels quite fluid, moving between the comedic and the tragic with ease. Magee's performance adds a nice layer of depth, making it a compelling watch. If you're into operatic adaptations, this one should sit comfortably in your collection, especially paired with 'Le Bourgeois gentilhomme' included here. Feels very much like a masterclass in modern opera.

Filmed at the 2012 Salzburg Festival.Includes 'Le Bourgeois gentilhomme' as a bonus.Conducted by Daniel Harding with the Vienna Philharmonic.Cinematography by Hannes Rossacher.
