»Arabella«, premiered on July 1, 1933 in Dresden, tells the story of Count Waldner and his family, who are on the verge of financial ruin. Therefore, on the one hand, the older daughter Arabella should be married to a rich admirer as soon as possible; on the other hand, her younger sister Zdenka is passed off as a boy. Apparently the right man for Arabella is found in the landowner Mandryka, but the amorous entanglements between the officer Matteo, who loves Arabella more than anything, and Zdenka ultimately cause salutary confusion ... In the last joint opera by Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal, the illusory world of an ailing society is unmasked in a beautiful robe of sound. Director Florentine Klepper tells in her production,

»Arabella«, uraufgeführt am 1. Juli 1933 in Dresden, erzählt die Geschichte des Grafen Waldner und seiner Familie, die kurz vor dem finanziellen Ruin steht. Deshalb soll einerseits die ältere Tochter Arabella so rasch wie möglich mit einem reichen Verehrer verheiratet werden; andererseits wird ihre jüngere Schwester Zdenka als Junge ausgegeben. Zwar wird in dem Großgrundbesitzer Mandryka für Arabella scheinbar der Richtige gefunden, doch da sorgen die amourösen Verwicklungen zwischen dem Offizier Matteo, der Arabella über alles liebt, und Zdenka für schlussendlich heilsame Verwirrung ... In der letzten gemeinsamen Oper von Richard Strauss und Hugo von Hofmannsthal wird im schönen Klanggewand die Scheinwelt einer maroden Gesellschaft demaskiert. Regisseurin Florentine Klepper erzählt in ihrer Inszenierung, die als Koproduktion mit den Salzburger Osterfestspielen 2014 ihre umjubelte Premiere erlebte, die Geschichte zweier starker Frauen, die um ihre erotische Selbstbestimmung kämpfen.
