Siegfried by Wagner, Ab (2008/2008), Unter der Regie von La Fura dels Baus,, Dirigat Zubin Mehta, Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía, Valencia, Spanien

"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.
