Andris Nelsons will conduct Richard Wagner’s masterpiece in a production by Romeo Castellucci, a true visionary of the theatre. This will be a new staging of the production that premiered at the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich in 2017. Jonas Kaufmann last appeared at the Easter Festival in »Cavalleria rusticana« / »Pagliacci« in 2015, and will here make his debut in the title role. Marlis Petersen as Elisabeth will be singing her first-ever Wagner role. This German soprano, who has been named the »Singer of the Year« several times, will also be celebrating her debut at the Easter Festival. The quintet of soloists will be completed by Elīna Garança as Venus, Georg Zeppenfeld as the Landgrave Hermann and Christian Gerhaher as Wolfram von Eschenbach. This production will largely follow Wagner’s final version of the opera, namely the version that was first performed in Vienna in 1875.
