jan 1, 1912 - First version of
Richard Strauss' opera
'Ariadne auf Naxos'
Description:
- combines the low style of commedia dell-arte with the style of high opera
- demonstrates that at its core is the competition between high and low art that vies for the public's attention
- (imagine it is within this context that there is a debate that occurs, inspired by Moliere, about the competition between music and language - in a comic reimagining)
