Wagner: Passion Beyond Reason

Thu 29 Jan 2009 7:30pm at Symphony Hall

Irene Theorin

Andris Nelsons has already won great acclaim for his interpretations of Wagner’s operas in Riga, and next year he makes his debut at the Bayreuth Festival. For his first CBSO Wagner outing, he has chosen contrasting extended sequences from three of the composer’s greatest operas, culminating in the apocalyptic climax of the entire Ring cycle. Acclaimed Swedish soprano Iréne Theorin takes the roles of Isolde and Brünnhilde – two of the very greatest operatic heroines, both driven by a love more powerful than life itself.
