Richard Strauss’s opera Arabella played on Sunday, December 21, 2025, at noon at the Ramsdell Theatre in Manistee. Soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen debuted as the title role in a lush production directed by Otto Schenk with a romantic 19th-century Vienna atmosphere.
This 252-minute Strauss opera brings the glamour of 19th-century Vienna to the Ramsdell stage. Rachel Willis-Sørensen made her role debut as Arabella, a young noblewoman searching for love on her own terms. Louise Alder, making her Met debut, played Arabella’s sister Zdenka, and bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny was the dashing count who wins Arabella’s heart. The production was directed by the legendary Otto Schenk and was praised for its beauty.
