For every opera house, a new production of any Wagner opera means a huge challenge for all its forces. In 2025, we have set us the goal to present you with a part of the Tetralogy, Das Rheingold, in one of Davide Livermore’s spectacular visualisations.

The revolutionary aspect of this production, however, lies in the musical side, notwithstanding recent endeavours by other companies: the recreation of the orchestra sound, the safeguarding of the clarity of the word, a special focus on the interplay between the voice and the orchestra, the difference between declamation and cantabile lines.

Chief Conductor Gianluca Capuano conducts a hand-picked cast of singers and Les Musiciens du Prince – our period instrument orchestra, which during the past years has successfully made a name for itself with operas from Monteverdi to Verdi. And now, it is ready to present its own stunningly fresh view of Wagner.
