Das Rheingold: Mendelssohn Haus Leipzig

Sobre el espectáculo

Richard Wagner's 'Das Rheingold' will be presented by the pianist Richard Vardigans in the series 'Talking about Opera' at the Mendelssohn Haus Leipzig.

'Talking about Opera' (Oper mal anders) is a series of introductory talks by the British conductor and pianist Richard Vardigans. Whether it's Mozart, Rossini, Verdi, Wagner, Puccini, or Strauss — it is certain to be profound, entertaining, sophisticated, and amusing!

Background information, historical context and plot are presented along with musical examples at the piano. This way you will recognise with Puccini, for example, that the ex‐lover is standing outside the door…

But how did it all begin… who loves whom… which baritone is the schemer… or was it the mezzo‐soprano… is that unknown lady really the mother and anyway… why do grown men have high voices and why do so many characters sing different texts at the same time?

This series will make your next visit to the opera even more memorable!

Performed in German.
