Set in 19th-century Vienna, Strauss’s elegant love story Arabella comes to life in Otto Schenk’s sumptuous production, celebrated for its beauty and charm.

The romantic comedy Arabella was the last collaboration between Richard Strauss and his great librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal. Although there are some elements of operatic farce, the work is characterized by great elegance, and the development of its characters is both poignant and touching in its own way. The title character – honest, innocent and well-meaning – is one of the most appealing and believable figures in opera. Arabella had itsworld premiere at the Staatsoper in Dresden in 1933.

Soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen sings the title role of the young noblewoman Arabella, who seeks love on her own terms. Louise Alder makes her Met debut as her sister Zdenka, while Tomasz Konieczny is the handsome Count Mandryka, with whom Arabella falls in love.

Please note – This is a live opera performance from the Metropolitan Opera in New York, USA. The original language of the opera is German, with Swedish subtitles.
