On 7 February, Richard Wagner's »Das Rheingold«, the preliminary evening to the monumental »Ring« cycle, returns in a production by Rosamund Gilmore. Also returning is Carl Maria von Weber's romantic opera »Der Freischütz« on 14 February. Internationally acclaimed tenor Tuomas Katajala has been cast in the role of Max. February 2 and 15 are the last opportunities to enjoy Verdi's gripping masterpiece »Otello« with Leipzig's designated General Music Director Ivan Repušić. Following the concert of the Richard Wagner Young Talent Award on 13 February, Director Tobias Wolff invites visitors to the »Ansprechbar« in the Opera Café for a chat with the 2025 prizewinners and members of the jury.
Variety and creativity are also the order of the day at the Musikalische Komödie: in addition to the lively operetta »Die Juxheirat« (The Mock Marriage) – revival on February 8 – Voice Students in Operetta Fever will present the result of their impassioned professional workshop with ensemble members Nora Lentner and Andreas Rainer.
