Festival
BBC Proms: ‘Ariadne auf Naxos’ from Glyndebourne
Royal Albert Hall
Strauss wrote an opera that contains another opera, which is a bold structural move. The complete version is rare, Glyndebourne hasn't done it in full for nearly half a century, and it's at the Albert Hall through the BBC Proms now. If you want a night where the work itself is the draw and not just the venue or the famous names, this is it.
The piece makes you think about how opera actually works. You're following a composer deliberately playing with form and expectation. That's rare, and the Albert Hall is the right place for something with that kind of architecture.
