The vocal cast offers important Wagnerian voices such as Michael Volle, performing as Wotan in the whole cycle, Camilla Nylund as Brünnhilde and Klaus Florian Vogt as both Siegmund and Siegfried.
The performances of Das Rheingold in 2024 will be conducted by Simone Young (28, 31 October, 3 November) and Alexander Soddy (5, 7, 10 November).
For the following titles, the name of the conductor will be published as soon as possible.
The four new productions will at first be presented separately in the upcoming three seasons: Das Rheingold in October/November 2024, Die Walküre in February 2025, Siegfried in June 2025 and Götterdämmerung in February 2026.
From the beginning of March 2026, on the occasion of the 150 th anniversary of the its absolute Premiere in 1876, the whole Tetralogy will return for two full cycles, each within a week, as Richard Wagner intended.
