A night like this is a reminder of why @bay_staatsoper is one of the greatest theatres in the world. Thrilling singing, an orchestra on glorious form, superbly conducted. We can discuss the (very) dated staging later, but for now let’s celebrate an evening of greatness
This evening, Cuban-American mezzo-soprano @esierramezzo makes her role debut singing Dryade in Strauss' 'Ariadne auf Naxos' with @bay_staatsoper.
📍 Additional dates follow on 23 & 26 January.

"It was the first time in over a year that I could sing for a live audience. It was emotional for me to see the crowd grow and to feel their love and support as we performed. I can't wait for this to be the norm again!"
