Teatro Massimo is inaugurating its 2013 season with a new, exciting project: in the celebratory bicentennial year of the birth of Richard Wagner, the theatre will stage Der Ring des Nibelungen. For the first time in its history, the Teatro Massimo is staging a new production of Wagner's masterpiece entirely within the same season. This project, begun over two years ago, marks the fulfilment of the theatre management's ambitious strategy of widening its artistic goals while increasing productive capacities.
The Ring will be staged by Graham Vick - one of the most important directors working in musical theater today and with a special rapport with Teatro Massimo - and designed by Richard Hudson. These two artists are intent on creating a production idea which finds its inspiration in the space, architecture and stage itself of the Teatro Massimo. Musically, the rich universe of Wagner's masterpiece will finds its leader in young Finnish conductor Pietari Inkinen. [Info]
