Conductor Christian Thielemann Director Willy Decker

Performances 29 Jan & 7 Feb 2021 Das Rheingold 30 Jan & 8 Feb 2021 Die Walküre 1 & 10 Feb 2021 Siegfried 3 & 12 Feb 2021 Götterdämmerung

In 2021 Willy Decker’s production of »Der Ring des Nibelungen« returns to the stage of the Semperoper Dresden. Principal Conductor Christian Thielemann, an acclaimed Wagner specialist, will direct the Dresden Staatskapelle, whom called his »miraculous harp«, in this psychologically penetrating and musically explosive drama of gods and men. It was during his tenure as the Saxon court’s Kapellmeister that Richard Wagner decided to compose a work around the Nibelungen legend, and indeed the first reading of the draft libretto was held in Dresden. Intending to write a great opera about the hero Siegfried, Wagner ended up creating a tetralogy consisting of a preliminary evening and three days. The complete cycle was premiered in 1876 in the Festspielhaus in Bayreuth, specially built for this magnum opus. Aided by a fabulous ensemble of singers, Willy Decker’s production places the battle for the power of the ring within a theatre, which becomes the backdrop for the demise of the gods and the rise of man. Thereby, the boundary between stage and reality becomes ever more blurred. This is a pow- erful interpretation of Wagner’s music drama, featuring heartrending characters and fantastic images.

Special conditions of sale for the Ring Cylcels: The performances of Ring Cycle 1 and Ring Cycle 2 are available solely as complete cycles. Tickets can be ordered from April 20 until 24, 2020 in writing only in writing only (email, fax, letter, order form) for the following seating options: box, seating categories 1 to 6.
