| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Monday 15-Jul-13 04:00pm Second Day of "Der Ring des Nibelungen"
Only an individual without fear can turn Mime’s dream into reality, forge the shattered sword anew, slay Fafner the dragon, snatch the ring away from him and walk straight into Mime’s knife – and all the power will be Mime’s. But he himself is too frightened of the Wanderer, in whose puzzle game he loses his head, of the dragon, whom he wants his foster son to slay, of his brother, whom he meets in the forest, and of the fearless Siegfried, who thanks to a message from a prophetic bird helps himself to the ring and slaughters Mime.
But Wotan’s plan for a free hero also comes to naught: Siegfried smashes his spear with the sword and stands fearlessly before Brünnhilde. The sight of her body sets him atremble, and he finally learns the true meaning of fear. In the glow of the sun, the two discover their love.
Mountain cave. Forest. Wilderness. Mountain peak. The second day of the work belongs to nature. But the guise of the harmless, nature-loving Wanderer fails to protect the father of the gods from his curse.
New production.

When the European Union Youth Orchestra plays a guest performance once again this Saturday, you will find out pretty quickly that this cliché has long become obsolete. The best new talents from all 27 EU countries that make up this orchestra are popular among audiences on account of their passion and youthful joy of performing. Last year, the audience greeted the EUYO’s programme «Symphonic Hollywood» with gushing enthusiasm. The Music Director of the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra Krzysztof Urbanski, who is at home on international stages, will conduct this year’s concert. And before the young musicians take the stage of the Wolkenturm in the evening together with pianist Boris Berezovsky, they will demonstrate in the Prelude that they also set standards as chamber musicians.

Musical ideas are tested to their limits in a conversation between keyboard and orchestra. The opium-fuelled obsessions, flower-like dancers, rural idyll, rolling tumbrel and danse macabre of Berlioz’s 1830 gothic masterpiece Symphonie fantastique conclude the first of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra’s two Proms (see also Prom 35) with Mariss Jansons, who celebrates his 70th birthday this year.Tickets £14 - £57. | ||

St Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny Dawn Upshaw and Gilbert Kalish Kilkenny Arts Festival |

| St Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny, Kilkenny, Ireland Wednesday 14-Aug-13 08:00pm Dawn Upshaw and Gilbert Kalish Tickets: Full €40, Concession €35 Few singers can boast, alongside four Grammy awards, a “genius” Fellowship from the MacArthur Foundation for “enriching the landscape of contemporary music”, but Dawn Upshaw is no ordinary soprano. Even before she appeared on Henryk Górecki’s million-selling Symphony No. 3 in the early 1990s, Upshaw was feted both for the quality of her voice and for her rare ability to cut to the heart of the music. She might have been forgiven for resting on her laurels and yet, over a career spanning more than two decades, she has developed a reputation as a tireless innovator, embracing everything from Bach to Broadway show tunes while working with cutting-edge contemporary composers like Kaija Saariaho and Donnacha Dennehy. For her first ever solo recital in Ireland Upshaw will perform an intriguing programme of songs by Charles Ives, Bela Bartok, Maurice Ravel, Franz Schubert and Bolcom and will be accompanied by her long-time collaborator Gilbert Kalish. | ||
