Opera lovers and newcomers alike are invited to experience power and fire – an innovative, emotionally charged performance that reimagines Verdi and Wagner in an intimate setting. Featuring the outstanding artists of MusikfürMusik gUG, this 90-minute event explores the strength of Verdi’s heroines and the burning passion of Wagner’s lovers – stripped of grand staging and reduced to their emotional core.

POWER: From defiant queens to fearless warriors – Verdi’s heroines are anything but helpless damsels in distress. Soprano Diipti Firmstone ignites the fire and passion of these legendary women – powerful, bold, and unforgettable.

FIRE: A preview of our 2025 premiere – Brennende Sehnsucht – an explosive reinterpretation of the most sensual moments from Wagner’s Ring Cycle. This preview captures the passion and intensity of Brünnhilde & Siegfried, portrayed by Vanessa Lanch (Brünnhilde) and Markus Ahme (Siegfried), and directed by Detlef Sölter.

The performance is accompanied by guest artist Chris Cartner (piano – Staatsoper Berlin), who masterfully brings the musical intensity of this intimate staging to life. This opera experience focuses on the essentials: raw, immediate, and deeply human. With an intermission for conversation and audience interaction.

🎭 Featuring excerpts from Nabucco, Il Trovatore, Don Carlo, La Forza del Destino (Verdi), and Siegfried (The Ring of the Nibelung, Wagner).
