In memory of the great Richard Wagner and mindful of their own Wagner tradition, the Staatskapelle Dresden staged this glittering gala concert in the Semperoper on the eve of Richard Wagner`s bicentenary. They were directed by their principal conductor Christian Thielemann, indisputably one of the great Wagner conductors of our time, and he was joined by the hottest young heroic tenor of recent years, Jonas Kaufmann. the programme features the overtures to the Wagner operas written and premiered in Dresden - 1842 Rienzi, 1843 The Flying Dutchman and 1845 Tannhäuser - as well as great tenor scenes from Rienzi, Tannhäuser and Lohengrin.
