This book presents in comprehensive fashion the extraordinary
development of Ariadne auf Naxos from its conception to the final
operatic version. The unique collaboration of Hofmannsthal and
Strauss is examined and the classical myths that served as a basis
for the libretto are investigated. The detailed analysis and
interpretation of both the text and the music demonstrate that this
work is epochal in the history of early nineteenth-century opera
and commands central importance in the overall production of its
authors.
