As initially conceived by Strauss and Hofmannsthal, Ariadne was designed to be performed after a performance of Molière's "Le bourgeois gentilhomme" (Der Bürger als Edelmann), the latter being provided with incidental music by Strauss. The premiere of this first version of Ariadne (a later revision of 1916 sacrificed the incidental music to the Molière part of the score) took place in Stuttgart on 25 October 1912. (11352)
