The Norn’s rope of destiny breaks, the world falls apart and the gods idly watch their own demise. People fight to claim power. Brünnhilde and Siegfried are drawn into these power struggles, essentially initiated by Hagen, the son of the ring’s first owner, Alberich. Siegfried dies: however, his death is the harbinger of a catastrophe from which hope for something new can arise.

Götterdäm­merung

Bebelplatz

We open the 2025/26 season with an evening dedicated entirely to Richard Wagner. We will perform excerpts from his operas "The Flying Dutchman," "Tannhäuser," and "Götterdämmerung" in concert.

1st Philharmonic Concert

Exhibition Hall 4

At the age of twenty-eight he died in the First World War, and most of his estate was destroyed in a bombing raid in 1945. And so Rudi Stephan's Music for Seven String Instruments is all the more precious: dramatic, tragic, like an expressionist silent film, seeking the grand gesture. Afterwards, we can dream ourselves away from the world – in Mahler's immortal "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen" (I am lost to the world) and other Rückert songs, performed by soloists of the SWR Symphonieorchester.
