==Historical background and musical analysis==
''Ariadne auf Naxos'' belonged to the genre known as German melodrama,〔("Ariadne auf Naxos, melodrama" ). Classical Work Reviews. All Media Guide, 2009. Accessed 2 October 2009.〕 an attempt is to merge spoken dialogue with music, making it the only form of opera with no singing. Brandes wrote the text of ''Ariadne auf Naxos'' for his wife Charlotte, a famous singer and actress of the day. She played the part of Ariadne in the premiere. The basis for Brandes' libretto was a cantata by Heinrich Wilhelm von Gerstenberg. However, Tim Ashley in his review of a 2005 performance of the work, suggests that Brandes may have been influenced by Virgil's ''Aeneid'', "Theseus is a man of destiny and conscience; Ariadne has no Bacchus to redeem her and instead commits suicide after seeing Theseus sail away".〔Ashley, Tim,("Ariadne auf Naxos/Zaide" ). ''The Guardian'', 25 August 2005〕
Mozart attended a production of ''Ariadne auf Naxos'' and became a great admirer of Benda's compositions. In 1778 he wrote to his father expressing the desire to compose a duodrama entitled ''Semiramide'' on the model of Benda's ''Ariadne auf Naxos'' and ''Medea''. He believed at the time that melodrama was the way to solve the problems of operatic recitative. However, Mozart never got around to creating a duodrama. He did create a miniature melodrama within his unfinished operetta, ''Zaide'', written in 1780.〔Jahn, Otto, (''Life of Mozart'' ), Novello, 1982, pp. 27 and 123-125〕 Other composers who admired and were influenced by Benda's melodramas include Carl Maria von Weber and Ludwig van Beethoven.〔
