Bayreuth: Scenes from the Ring
VOCAL SPLENDOUR
Programme
For the first time since performing the complete cycle from 2015–18, the HK Phil returns to Wagner’s Ring with scenes from Siegfried and Götterdämmerung. Finnish conductor Pietari Inkinen, praised by Das Opernglas as “one of the most inspired conductors who ever undertook the Ring in Bayreuth”, leads the orchestra. Wagnerian soprano Ricarda Merbeth, known for her commanding portrayal of Brünnhilde, and Heldentenor Stefan Vinke, renowned for his powerful interpretation of Siegfried, join forces with the HK Phil for these exceptional concerts.
The concert runs approximately 2 hours 15 minutes with an intermission.
