"This production may show us the way music theater will go in the future" (Die Zeit). In fact, the Spanish city of Valencia is not only setting new accents in 21st-century opera with its spectacular, futuristic opera house, the Palau de les Arts "Reina Sofía" designed by Santiago Calatrava, but also with the visually stunning staging of Wagner's " Ring" by Carlus Padrissa and his theater group La Fura dels Baus. Barcelona-based Fura rose to international prominence when she designed and performed the opening ceremonies of the Barcelona 1992 Olympic Games, and made her breakthrough in the classical world with her staging of Berlioz's "La damnation de Faust" at the 1999 Salzburg Festival.

Fura's hallmark is the captivating fusion of movement, sound, music, dance, acrobatics and technique into unforgettable stage events of sometimes raw but always captivating power. In the world of opera, the ensemble has defined its personal style through the use of large screen projections, the exceptional agility of the performers and the magical use of humans to create organic structures that evoke objects such as Valhalla (in this "Ring" production). In fact, La Fura was predestined for Wagner's visionary world: his dream of a total work of art becomes reality when a form-shifting sequence of tableaux unfolds before our eyes with all the elements that make up the "lenguaje furero" or the "Fura idiom".

Renowned conductor Zubin Mehta directs world-class Wagner singers such as Matti Salminen, Peter Seiffert, Juha Uusitalo, Jennifer Wilson and Lance Ryan. Among the younger cast, Jennifer Wilson, a "singer from whom one will hear a lot" (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) and Juha Uusitalo, who the FAZ celebrated as the new "number one among the opera gods", particularly stand out. Equally outstanding is the Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana, one of the "youngest and best opera orchestras in Europe" (Opernglas), which "plays with rapturous beauty under Zubin Mehta. [...] The suppleness, rhythmic presence and singer-friendly dynamics that Mehta with achieved with this orchestra are simply wonderful" (FAZ).

Die Walküre Wagner,Richard

La Walkyrie

Valide

Das Rheingold | Ramon Gener

he most popular opera of the tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen. Carlus Padrissa is the scenic director, and winner of 7 international awards, among them Franco Abbiati Prize Musicale Italiana della Critica or ICMA-International Classical Music Awards 2011 -made by critics from 10 countries- is probably the closest to the concept of total work of art with which Wagner himself characterized the opera.
