Teodor Currentzis has established himself as one of the most magnetic and influential figures in contemporary orchestral conducting. Renowned for the intensity of his interpretations and for a radically personal approach to the classical repertoire, each of his appearances on stage becomes a true musical event. Barcelona now welcomes this exceptional presence as part of Barcelona Obertura, the programme that positions the city as a European capital of classical and symphonic music.
Leading his orchestra musicAeterna, Currentzis conducts an evening at Barcelona's L'Auditori conceived as an artistic and emotionally profound experience. The programme centres on Richard Wagner, featuring "El anillo sin palabras" (1987), a symphonic arrangement by Lorin Maazel that distils the universe of Der Ring des Nibelungen into a single orchestral work. This interpretation highlights the narrative power, symbolism and dramatic tension of Wagner's language without the need for voices.
This concert forms part of the Wagner Nights within Barcelona Obertura, a series that places Wagner's work at the heart of the programme and strengthens the dialogue between leading international performers, the canonical repertoire and the city's principal musical venues.
