It is the fate of myths to be taken up and reworked across the centuries, every time permeated by the ever-changing human Zeitgeist. The myth of Ariadne – universal in its interplay of love, oppression, political cunning, salvation and the alternation of deceptive joy and pain – has repeatedly inspired musicians in some of their finest creations, from Claudio Monteverdi to Richard Strauss.
