One of the major highlights of the season at the Opéra National de Paris was the debut of  Ludovic Tézier as Wotan in Das Rheingold, the first installment of the new Ring cycle directed by Calixto Bieito.

Unfortunately, the greatest baritone of his generation is suffering from the flu, which prevents him from attending all the necessary rehearsals for this role debut. From January 29 to February 19, 2025, Iain Paterson will replace the god Wotan for all performances at the Opéra Bastille.
