Franz Welser-Möst calls time on Wagner’s Ring
NewsThe Cleveland conductor has decided that next month’s revived cycle at the Vienna Opera will be his last.
At 63, he says: ‘Life consists of many farewells… The complete ‘Ring’ is to every conductor what Mount Everest is to mountaineers. It’s a unique peak that lures you and promises the greatest joy, but at the same time it poses extreme challenges.’
Good call.
