No sooner has the Metropolitan Opera rolled out plans for a new Wagner Ring than the Dallas Symphony announces concert performances of all four operas (Oct 13, 15, 17, 20), as well as standalone Siegfried and Götterdämmerung (Oct 5 & 8). It is supposedly the first concert Ring cycle by any US orchestra in recent history.
The conductor is Fabio Luisi, who was passed over eight years ago as music director by the Met.
Casting includes Lise Lindstrom (Brünnhilde), Sara Jakubiak (Sieglinde), Deniz Uzun (Fricka), Daniel Johansson (Siegfried), Mark Delavan (Wotan) and Tómas Tómasson (Alberich). The staging director will be Alberto Triola.
