Götterdämmerung – The Twilight of the Gods – seems like an amendment to the totality of the ideals expressed in Siegfried or, even, to the path laboriously traced throughout the preceding episodes: the Feuerbachian optimism that shone in the final scene of Siegfried becomes in Götterdämmerung , quickly and inexorably, in a feast of betrayals, plots and revenge that will drag all the characters, without exception, to perdition. In other words, Götterdämmerung finally stages the apocalyptic duel between queens Brunnhilde and Krimhilda recounted in The Nibelungenlied., an epic that was for Wagner – back in 1848 – the starting point for the composition of his monumental saga. Götterdämmerung is also the darkest and furiously avant-garde score in the cycle – the second act! – as well as a phenomenal recapitulation of the most significant musical moments of the three previous operas. Crowned with a powerful catharsis, Götterdämmerung also culminates the musical odyssey that began in the 2018-2019 season with Das Rheingold by Heras-Casado/Carsen with a reading that once again emphasizes the ecological subtext of this immense moral fable.
