Led by preeminent conductor Christian Thielemann and stage director David McVicar, the Tetralogy returns to La Scala ten years after the memorable edition conducted by Daniel Barenboim and directed by Guy Cassiers. The theatre thus pays tribute to the Wagnerian tradition established by Arturo Toscanini and continued over the years by such luminaries as Victor de Sabata, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Clemens Krauss, Herbert von Karajan, André Cluytens, Wolfgang Sawallisch, and Riccardo Muti. Following up on the prologue performed in autumn 2024, the first day of the Ring des Nibelungen presents what is unquestionably the most popular of Wagner’s works among Italian audiences: Die Walküre. The sword drawn from the trunk of the ash tree, the incestuous love between Siegmund and Sieglinde, the ride of the Valkyries, the disobedience of Brünnhilde, and the enchanted circle of fire are quintessential archetypes of imagination that transcend music and theatre.
