Ariadne auf Naxos (Ariadne on Naxos), Op. 60, is a 1912 opera by Richard Strauss with a German libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal. The opera´s unusual combination of elements of low commedia dell´arte with those of high opera seria points up one of the work´s principal themes: the competition between high and low art for the public´s attention.
