Under the name Al Sud del Rin, the Palau de les Arts will be hosting the second edition of the Mediterrani Festival from May 30 to June 30, an event dedicated to the tetralogy by Richard Wagner Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung).
The incredible production staged by the Fura dels Baus Company under the direction of Zubin Mehta has achieved major international recognition. The cast starring in the four parts that make up The Ring of the Nibelung (Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried and Götterdämmerung) includes some leading names that have already performed these productions in the Palau de les Arts in the past to great critical and popular acclaim. In fact, the famous tenor Placido Domingo will be playing the role of Siegmund at the performance of Die Walküre on 24th June.
The programme at this year's edition encompasses a wide range of activities including recitals, roundtable discussions, projections and lectures about the German genius. The adaptation by the Fura dels Baus Company will also be the subject of an exhibition as well as an open air show, Anell de Llum which¸ following the success achieved last year, will once again be performing fragments of this work suitable for audiences of all ages.
