RICHARD WAGNER: »GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG«

The Wagner Cycles, the unique project of the Dresdner Musikfestspiele, shows that Richard Wagner's famous Ring epic can still ensure completely new listening experiences. Since 2023, one part of the tetralogy has been re-examined and rehearsed each year in close collaboration with a team of renowned academics and performed in Dresden and on tour through Europe’s musical centers based on an historically informed approach. The result has delighted audiences and critics alike. The concert performance of Die Walküre at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw was highlighted by The New York Times as one of the best classical performances of 2024. The newly-won transparent orchestra sound and the focus on the singers’ treatment of language will also be guaranteed in Götterdämmerung. For the dramatic finale, the specially founded Dresden Festival Choir will add impressive tonal dimensions to this large-Scale project.
