Der Ring des Nibelungen

Der Ring des Nibelungen

After ten years, Teatro alla Scala presents a new production of Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen, with a Maestro of absolute eminence in this repertoire, Christian Thielemann, who thus adds his name to a list of giants who conducted this music at La Scala, featuring the likes of Toscanini, De Sabata, Krauss, Furtwängler, Cluytens, Muti, and Barenboim.

The direction is entrusted to David McVicar, internationally acknowledged among the most appreciated opera directors of our time and who has already staged a broad repertoire of titles at La Scala, ranging from Cavalli to Berlioz, Cilea, and Verdi.

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 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.
