About the Event
Symphonic excerpts from Wagner's operas “Das Rheingold,” “Die Walküre,” “Siegfried,” and “Götterdämmerung”
Currentzis demonstrates his creative talent not only as the founder of his music label “Theta,” but is also celebrated above all for his radical visions. The uncompromising, spiritual approach is just as important to the Greek, who has been dubbed a rebel of the classical music scene, as his energetic body language. It is a search for a higher musical cosmos that he seeks to illuminate. So it comes as no surprise that three years ago Currentzis created his own international, high‐caliber, independent music collective called “Utopia.” The name was deliberately chosen to be future‐oriented, with the goal of searching for sonic perfection. After his last concert in Munich in April 2025, the Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote: “Teodor Currentzis is an experience.”
In the fall, Wagner's opera tetralogy – “Das Rheingold,” “Die Walküre,” “Siegfried,” and ‘Götterdämmerung’ – will undergo its metamorphosis into a symphonic “Ring without Words” under the baton of the unconventional star conductor, without losing any of its sonic foundation.
Artists
| Conductor: | Teodor Currentzis The Greek‐born Russian conductor began his musical studies in Greece before moving to Russia to study conducting with the legendary Ilya Musin. Currentzis' early experience was gained primarily in Russia, and he is most closely associated with the Baroque and Classical repertoire, having established two ensembles specialising in these eras — the MusicaAeterna orchestra and choir — during his early career in Novosibirsk. Since 2011, Currentzis has been closely associated with the SWR Symphonieorchester in Stuttgart, becoming its chief conductor in 2018‐19. Currentzis also has a busy international career conducting opera performances and orchestral concerts in many of the world's great theatres and halls. His discography is extensive and many recordings have attracted international awards, and he has recently founded his own label, Theta, as well as the internationally‐acclaimed Utopia orchestra. |
