Salzburg lures back Berlin Phil with a Kirill Petrenko Ring

Salzburg lures back Berlin Phil with a Kirill Petrenko Ring

The Easter Festival was founded by Herbert von Karajan with his Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in residence.

Things went bellyup a few years back when the Berlin Phil accepted a better offer from Baden-Baden.

Next season they are back – with big plans.

For the first five years of the residency, Artistic Director Nikolaus Bachler and Kirill Petrenko, Chief Conductor of the top Berlin orchestra since 2019, will present new productions of two works: Richard Wagner’s tetralogy »Der Ring des Nibelungen« and Arnold Schoenberg’s only opera »Moses und Aron«. The new »Ring« will be staged by Russian director Kirill Serebrennikov, with Christian Gerhaher making his role debut as Wotan. Kirill Petrenko will also conduct Gustav Mahler’s monumental 8th Symphony, while other concerts will feature violinist Janine Jansen and conductors Daniel Harding and Tugan Sokhiev.

Not sure about the grunge image.
