Summary

This is a play within a play. In the prologue an opera company is preparing to perform for a select audience in the private theater of a wealthy eighteenth-century patron. At his request, a serious and comic opera are now performed simultaneously, the story revolving around the lovesick Ariadne (soprano), whom the frivolous Zerbinetta (soprano) and her three helpers vainly try to cheer and whose joy in life is ultimately reawakened by Bacchus (tenor).
