Repertory
Richard Wagner: Die Walküre (The Valkyrie), Act 1
Lise Davidsen, the greatest Sieglinde or Elisabeth of our time, is the hope of a specific and demanding vocal world. While the world awaits her debut as Brünnhilde or Isolde, we will relish her creation of this character. At her side, Bretz will be the jealous guardian of the household and of Sieglinde herself. Clay Hilley, as Siegmund for the evening, is today’s leading exponent of heldentenor and a valued treasure in demand for all the major tetralogies of upcoming years.
In this case, a first part with arias by Strauss and Wagner will create the right atmosphere for listening to the concert version of this unattainable temple of sound. Josep Pons, conducting the musicians of the Liceu Opera Orchestra, will take us to another level.
