After ten years, Teatro alla Scala presented a new production of Ring des Nibelungen in the fall of 2024 , conducted by Simone Young and Alexander Soddy, who join the ranks of great maestros such as Toscanini, De Sabata, Krauss, Furtwängler, Cluytens, Muti, and Barenboim. The direction is by David McVicar, one of the most authoritative names on the international stage, who has won acclaim at La Scala in a vast repertoire, from Cavalli to Berlioz, Cilea, and Verdi.

Das Rheingold (Der Ring des Nibelungen)

Teatro alla Scala

Tannhäuser lived for seven years in the dream world of the Venusberg, but even his return to the stifling society of Wartburg Castle brings no fulfillment. A pilgrim between worlds, he is homeless. The Icelandic director Thorleifur Örn Arnarsson, known for his compelling interpretations of mythical material and grand narratives, stages "Tannhäuser" as an existential drama of identity and a surreal journey into the human psyche. Wagner condensed the search for meaning and stability in a world that seems to be slipping away into a philosophical description of the world.
