ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Quote from Teatro Real:
Götterdämmerung –The Twilight of the Gods– seems like an amendment to the totality of the ideals expressed in Siegfried or, even, to the laboriously traced path throughout the preceding episodes: the Feuerbachian optimism that shone in the final scene of Siegfried becomes in Götterdämmerung, quickly and inexorably, in a feast of betrayals, plots and revenge that will drag all the characters, without exception, to perdition. In other words, Götterdämmerung finally stages the apocalyptic duel between the queens Brunhilda and Krimilda recounted in The Song of the Nibelungs, an epic that was for Wagner –around the year 1848– the starting point for the composition of the monumental saga of the. Götterdämmerung is also the darkest and most rabidly avant-garde score in the cycle – the second act! – as well as a phenomenal recap of the most significant musical moments from the three previous operas. Crowned with a powerful catharsis, Götterdämmerung also culminates the musical odyssey that began in the 2018-2019 season with Das Rheingold by Heras-Casado/ Carsen with a reading that emphasizes, once again, the ecological subtext of this immense moral fable.
