Berliner Philharmoniker Live: NYE Concert 2023
Siegmund in Richard Wagner’s Walküre is a signature role for Jonas Kaufmann.
The world-renowned tenor is passionate, radiant and combative in his portrayal of
the tragic hero at the centre of a love triangle that confronts us with the emotional
extremes of revenge, incest and lover’s bliss. To celebrate the end of the year, chief
conductor Kirill Petrenko, an acclaimed interpreter of Wagner, conducts the first act
of the opera at the Berliner Philharmoniker’s New Year’s Eve Concert, broadcast
live to cinemas. The programme opens with excerpts from Tannhäuser that
encapsulate the grandeur of Wagner’s great work.
