Richard Strauss: Ariadne auf Naxos

"High art meets hearty laughs when opera seria clashes with commedia dell'arte in The Opera Studio's interpretation of Richard Strauss' satirical opera -- arriving on DVD from Kultur. The feature is presented in 1.33:1 full-frame, accompanied by an audio track rendered in German Dolby Digital Stereo with optional English subtitles. Though there are no extra features to speak of, opera fans will no doubt welcome the chance to experience the magic of the theater in their own living rooms."
