Premiere von Wagners Rheingold : Ein neues Meisterwerk in München!

München, Deutschland - Richard Wagner’s Rheingold is set to make a spectacular return to the stage, launching a new production by acclaimed director Tobias Kratzer at the Bayerische Staatsoper on October 27, 2024. This highly anticipated premiere marks a significant moment for the opera house as it has not staged a Wagner opera under the current general music director, Vladimir Jurowski, until now. Following a series of successful productions, expectations are sky-high for Jurowski’s interpretation of Wagner’s monumental work.

Kratzer, known for his innovative takes on operas, will lead this fresh interpretation over several seasons, building on his previous triumph with Tannhäuser in Bayreuth. The premiere features distinguished soloists including Nicholas Brownlee as Wotan, Markus Brück as Alberich, and Sean Panikkar as Loge, promising a breathtaking performance that will honor Wagner’s legacy while engaging contemporary audiences. For opera enthusiasts eager to catch a glimpse of what’s to come, BR-KLASSIK will broadcast the live performance, emphasizing the significance of this event in the world of opera.
