The Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia will open its symphonic season on October 21 with a performance of Richard Wagner’s Siegfried. Before the premiere, the institution will host an introductory event on October 18 to explore the opera’s significance.
Journalist Corrado Augias, along with musicologists Sandro Cappelletto and Quirino Principe, will lead the discussion. The panel aims to provide context for the complex masterpiece, which serves as the centerpiece for the upcoming season’s launch. Organizers state the event is designed to prepare audiences for the full production. This approach continues the academy’s tradition of offering educational programming alongside its major musical offerings. #SantaCecilia #Wagner #ClassicalMusic #OperaNews #RomeEvents @CorradoAugias @SandroCappelletto
