Wagner's Ring Cycle Stockholm WAGNER'S RING CYCLE STOCKHOLM Stockholm - 09 days Departure: May 22, 2017 Return: May 30, 2017 Do not miss a unique opportunity to experience Richard Wagner’s unassailable tetralogy of the Ring Cycle, sung by the world-renowned Nina Stemme, born in Stockholm, as Brünnhilde. This critically acclaimed production premiered at the Royal Swedish Opera 10 years ago and has been praised for its brilliant character portraits and the orchestra’s breath taking performance. Director Staffan Valdemar Holm has put particular focus on the strong relationship between the father Wotan and the daughter Brünnhilde – love versus power, love as a catastrophe – that is what the operas are about. We have chosen to stay at the finest deluxe hotel in Scandinavia, the Grand Hotel in Stockholm.

  • Katarina Dalayman Soprano
    KATARINA DALAYMAN SOPRANO BIOGRAPHY LONG VERSION Swedish soprano Katarina Dalayman has sustained a long and prestigious international career in the dramatic repertoire and she has enjoyed enduring collaborations with many of today’s foremost conductors. Strong, dramatic interpretations married with impeccable musicianship are her characteristics. Dalayman has performed a wide range of roles including Isolde (Tristan und Isolde), Marie (Wozzeck), Lisa (Queen of Spades), Ariadne (Ariadne auf Naxos), Katarina Ismailova (Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk) and the title role of Elektra. With a particularly strong association to Wagner's Brünnhilde, Dalayman has appeared in Ring cycles at The Metropolitan Opera, Opéra National de Paris, Wiener and Bayerische staatsoper, Teatro alla Scala, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Semperoper Dresden, Salzburger Festspiele and Festival d’Aix en Provence. Looking ahead to the next phase in her career, Katarina Dalayman’s repertoire is now focused on new roles, having recently made her debut as Kundry (Parsifal) in Dresden, Paris and Stockholm, Judith (Duke Bluebeard’s Castle) in Barcelona and London (Royal Opera House), Ortrud (Lohengrin) with Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and Brangäne (Tristan und Isolde) at The Metropolitan Opera. She has recently appeared as Herodias (Salome) for Royal Swedish Opera, Foreign Princess (Rusalka) at The Metropolitan Opera, Klytämnestra (Elektra), Amneris (Aida), and Kostelnicka (Jenůfa), all for Royal Swedish Opera. Among recent performances can be mentioned her highly celebrated interpretation of Kundry at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, a production that was broadcasted around the world in the Mets “Live in HD” performance transmissions, an appearance together with Bryn Terfel in Die Walküre at the Tanglewood Festival in USA, an interpretation of Carmen and Elisabetta in Maria Stuarda both at the Royal Swedish Opera and Ortrud in Lohengrin, with the Concertgebouw Orchestra.
