The Orchestra musicAeterna, conducted by Teodor Currentzis, will perform the famous symphonic suite Der Ring Ohne Worte (The Ring Without Words), created in 1987 by conductor Lorin Maazel. The structure of the suite strictly follows the chronology of events in Wagner’s cycle, from the introduction of Das Rheingold to the final chords of Götterdämmerung. The Ring without Words preserves all the main leitmotifs of the tetralogy, and the music from each opera is presented in proportion to its place and time in the cycle. Famous symphonic pieces such as The Ride of the Valkyries, Siegfried’s Journey on the Rhine, and Siegfried’s Funeral March are harmoniously interwoven throughout the musical action. The Ring without Words, like other symphonic fantasies based on Wagner’s operatic music, pursues goals that go beyond the purely practical. In the absence of vocal parts, characters, or a linear plot to follow, listeners are invited to immerse themselves completely in the orchestra, the true protagonist of Wagner’s operatic universe. His dense, colorful, infinitely changeable, and creative symphonic writing is like an ocean. It is in the depths of this musical ocean that all emotions and feelings, all mental movements, all the motives that drive the characters in the opera to act are born.
