Impressions from the new Zurich Ring.
The «Ring» as Cycle
The fall 2023 premiere of Götterdämmerung brought its completion – the new Zurich Ring des Nibelungen under the musical direction of General Music Director Gianandrea Noseda in a production by Intendant and Stage Director Andreas Homoki. And in spring 2024 we will present all four parts of Richard Wagner’s grand Weltdeutungsmythos – as a cycle in a short chronological presentation of the four works, as intended by the composer. Back to the origin is one of the leitmotifs of Andreas Homoki’s overall concept for this monumental work, which tells of nothing less than the creation and demise of a world. At the same time, the Ring des Nibelungen is also a family story about Wotan, the father of the gods, and his struggle to keep and break treaties, about freedom and lack thereof, and his desperate efforts to stop the downfall he himself is responsible for. Andreas Homoki’s production brings the characters of the Ring, the gods, humans and mythical creatures, very close to us and makes the motivations and relationships of the characters to each other comprehensible in precise character drawing. The cyclical performance of the complete Ring now makes it possible to follow these extremely complex scenic and musical developments, the densely woven web of musical and narrative motifs over the course of all four evenings. This is particularly exciting not least because in our new production the characters in all four parts are embodied by the same singers – Tomasz Konieczny is Wotan, Camilla Nylund Brünnhilde, Christopher Purves Alberich, Wolfgang Ablinger Sperrhacke Mime and Klaus Florian Vogt Siegfried.
