Festival

Whitsun Festival Baden-Baden 2023

What does immortality sound like? It cannot be: Isolde is not dead. She's going away - to another world, to another state, to something that lures us in, that we've been longing for all along. Teodor Currentzis gives a hint of that when he conducts "Isolde's Liebestod" at the Whitsun Festival, from Wagner's rapturous, taboo musical drama "Tristan und Isolde." There is sweet transfiguration without eroticism in the third act of "Parsifal," sung by Bayreuth star Andreas Schager. Also to die for - and also by Wagner, who is at the center of this Whitsun Festival.

Programme
Alexey Retinsky: Prelude to Prelude
Richard Wagner: Tristan and Isolde: Prelude and Liebestod
Richard Wagner: The Ring without Words
Overview

Teodor Currentzis conducts the SWR Symphonieorchester with a program featuring symphonic opera paraphrases by Richard Wagner: these few facts alone are enough to highlight the exceptional nature of this concert. Once again, Currentzis incorporates historical references – enriching the main works of the evening with a musical meditation on Wagner by Ukrainian-Russian composer Alexei Retinski.
