Richard Wagner: Lohengrin
The opera event of the year: Superstar Anna Netrebko and her Polish colleague Piotr Beczala in their first ever Wagnerian roles.
This opera season’s most anticipated premiere features Anna Netrebko and Piotr Beczala in their first ever Wagnerian roles as Elsa and Lohengrin under the baton of Christian Thielemann, doubtlessly today’s foremost conductor of this repertoire. Outstanding Wagnerians Evelyn Herlitzius and Tomasz Konieczny are starring as the opponents Ortrud and Friedrich von Telramund and Georg Zeppenfeld is Heinrich der Vogler at the prestigious Semperoper Dresden, where operatic history has been written with the theatre playing host to three important Wagner premieres. In the pit is the Staatskapelle Dresden, which Richard Wagner himself headed as Royal Saxon Kapellmeister from 1843 to 1849. The production with its psychologic depth, timeless setting and stunning costumes is staged after the original production by Christine Mielitz, the internationally acclaimed director, who is affiliated with the Semperoper since her beginnings alongside Harry Kupfer. “Netrebko and Beczala are Wagner Stars (New York Times)”; “Pure bliss! Never ending applause! (FAZ)”
