The work brought together <strong>Max Reinhardt</strong>, to whom <em>Ariadne</em> was dedicated and with whom they founded the Salzburg Festival after the First World War.<br /><br />To mark the centenary of its first performance at the Salzburg Festival, <strong>Manfred Honeck</strong> is conducting the <strong>Vienna Philharmonic</strong> in a new production by <strong>Ersan Mondtag</strong>, which will premiere in the <u><strong><a href="https://www.salzburgerfestspiele.at/p/ariadne-auf-naxos-2026" target="_blank">Haus f&uuml;r Mozart on 2 August 2026</a></strong></u>.<br /><br />Today, in a "Terrassen-Talk" organised by the Press Office of the Salzburg Festival, the conductor (pictured), seated next to <strong>Christina Nilsson</strong> (Ariadne, also pictured), brought along the parts from the first desk of the second violin section&nbsp;of the Vienna State Opera. Over the last century, musicians have signed their names and written comments in the score, noting in particular significant political events, such as "Frieden" in 1945.<br /><br />With its mixture of neo-Baroque, opera-buffa, dance, and meta-theater elements &mdash; not to mention its many references to Mozart and Wagner &mdash;&nbsp;<em>Ariadne</em> represented the stage work most closely aligned with the ideas and identity of the early Salzburg Festival. It was also the work Strauss held closest to his heart as he lay on his own deathbed in September 1949. "<em>Es gibt ein Reich...</em>"<br /><br />* * *<br /><br /><font color="#626262">Am 15. Juli 1929 wollte sich <strong>Hugo von Hofmannsthal</strong> in seinem Arbeitszimmer gerade f&uuml;r das Begr&auml;bnis seines 26-j&auml;hrigen Sohnes Franz fertig machen, als er einen pl&ouml;tzlichen und schweren Schlaganfall erlitt. <strong>Richard Strauss</strong> war &uuml;ber die Nachricht vom Tod seines langj&auml;hrigen Librettisten und Freundes zutiefst ersch&uuml;ttert.</font><br /><font color="#626262">Drei Jahre zuvor, im August 1926, war ihre Oper <strong><em>Ariadne auf Naxos</em></strong> als erstes ihrer gemeinsamen B&uuml;hnenwerke bei den <strong>Salzburger Festspielen</strong> aufgef&uuml;hrt worden. Das Werk f&uuml;hrte sie wieder mit <strong>Max Reinhardt</strong> zusammen, dem die <em>Ariadne</em> gewidmet war und mit dem sie nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg die Salzburger Festspiele ins Leben gerufen hatten.</font><br /><font color="#626262">Anl&auml;sslich des hundertj&auml;hrigen Jubil&auml;ums dieser Salzburger Erstauff&uuml;hrung dirigiert <strong>Manfred Honeck</strong> die <strong>Wiener Philharmoniker</strong> in einer Neuinszenierung von <strong>Ersan Mondtag</strong>, die am <u><strong><a href="https://www.salzburgerfestspiele.at/p/ariadne-auf-naxos-2026" target="_blank">2. August 2026 im Haus f&uuml;r Mozart</a></strong></u> Premiere feiert.</font><br /><font color="#626262">Heute brachte der Dirigent (im Bild) bei einem vom Presseb&uuml;ro der Salzburger Festspiele organisierten &bdquo;Terrassen-Talk&ldquo; &ndash; an der Seite von <strong>Christina Nilsson</strong> (Ariadne) &ndash; die Stimmen vom ersten Pult der zweiten Violinen der Wiener Staatsoper mit. Im Laufe des vergangenen Jahrhunderts haben sich Musikerinnen und Musiker in den Noten verewigt und handschriftliche Kommentare hinterlassen, in denen sie insbesondere bedeutende politische Ereignisse festhielten, wie etwa den Eintrag &bdquo;Frieden&ldquo; im Jahr 1945.</font><br /><font color="#626262">Mit ihrer Mischung aus Neobarock, Opera buffa, Tanz und Metatheater &ndash; ganz zu schweigen von den zahlreichen Anspielungen auf Mozart und Wagner &ndash; war die <em>Ariadne</em> jene Oper, die den Ideen und der Identit&auml;t der fr&uuml;hen Salzburger Festspiele am n&auml;chsten stand. Es war auch das Werk, das Strauss auf seinem Sterbebett im September 1949 am engsten am Herzen lag. &bdquo;Es gibt ein Reich...&ldquo;</font></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[On this day - Josephs Legende]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.richardstraussgesellschaft.org/aktuelles/on-this-day-josephs-legende]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.richardstraussgesellschaft.org/aktuelles/on-this-day-josephs-legende#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 14 May 2026 13:12:11 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.richardstraussgesellschaft.org/aktuelles/on-this-day-josephs-legende</guid><description><![CDATA[ &#8203;   The Ballets Russes first performed&nbsp;Josephs Legende&nbsp;on this day, 14 May 1914, in Paris.Here a photo from the German premiere, under the composer's baton (scene and costumes by Emil Pirchan, choreography by Heinrich Kr&ouml;ller), in Berlin on 4 February 1921.&nbsp;***Die Ballets Russes f&uuml;hrten an diesem Tag, dem 14.
