Wagner's Ring historically informed
Concerto Köln wants to perform Wagner's Ring des Nibelungen in a historically informed way. In addition to the ensemble, conductor Kent Nagano and a team of scholars from various disciplines are responsible for the project.
In addition to the theoretical reflection of the project, one focus of the project is on the reconstruction of the instrumental, vocal, linguistic and stage practice of the Wagner period.
According to Kent Nagano, although the Ring is one of the most researched compositions, there has not yet been a systematic approach to the tetralogy from a historically informed perspective. This makes it all the more important to tackle such a task and to question listening habits in the Romantic repertoire that previously seemed irrevocable. The first results are to be presented in the concert hall next February.
