While a new Ring cycle by Wagner is announced at the Metropolitan Opera, where the magnificent Lise Davidsen will be Brünnhilde in a new production by Yuval Sharon, the new star soprano of Wagnerian roles has finally been announced as Isolde in 2025-2026, in a new production that will mark Sharon‘s debut at the Met. The opera will be conducted, as it should be, by Nézet-Séguin. Until this highly anticipated role debut, those eager to hear her can catch just the second act, conducted by Sir Simon Rattle, on November 1 and 3, 2024, at the Isarphilharmonie in Munich, with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks.
