Description:

Liane Synek, nearing the end of her illustrious career, continues to bring vocal distinction to the role of Fricka. Her performance is imbued with the experience and depth earned through years of performing Wagner’s great roles.

Wolfgang Windgassen, despite a long and celebrated career in Wagnerian roles, demonstrates that his lyric tenor is still remarkably intact. Sadly, he would pass away less than nine months after this performance, adding an air of poignancy to his already impressive portrayal.

Rolf Kühne brings a powerful yet refined baritone to the role of Wotan, his voice resonating with both authority and subtlety, enhancing the dramatic weight of the performance.
