Henrik Nánási conducts Wagner works with the Valencian Community Orchestra at the ADDA in Alicante

Henrik Nánási will conduct the Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana (OCV) on Friday, May 20th, in a monographic concert of Richard Wagner at the Auditorium of the Provincial Council of Alicante.

The Hungarian maestro garnered resounding critical and public acclaim with this same repertoire last April at the Palau de les Arts. The concert, which had been sold out for months, included in its first half the Overture to 'Tannhäuser', the Prelude and Liebeest's Death from 'Tristan und Isolde'.

For his visit to Alicante, Henrik Nánási introduces a work never before performed by the resident orchestra of Les Arts, 'Der Ring ohne Worte' ('The Ring Without Words'). It is a symphonic synthesis by Lorin Maazel (1930-2014), the first music director of the OCV, which encompasses in 75 minutes everything from the first note of Das Rheingold to the final chord of Götterdämmerung . where you can hear the great musical moments of Wagner's magnum opus.

Henrik Nánási (Pécs, 1975) made his debut at Les Arts in November 2014 with a concert-performance based on Béla Bartók's opera 'Bluebeard's Castle'. A year later, the Hungarian conductor opened the subscription season with Verdi's 'Macbeth', starring Plácido Domingo, and in 2017 he premiered Massenet's 'Werther' in a co-production between Les Arts and Monte Carlo.

The current musical director of the Komische Oper Berlin delves into the work of the composer with whom the Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana has achieved the greatest international acclaim, thanks to the multi-award-winning production of the tetralogy 'Der Ring des Nibelungen'.

Nánási is one of the most promising young conductors on the continent. A guest conductor at the Verona Arena, the Bavarian State Opera, Covent Garden, the Frankfurt Opera, the Semperoper in Dresden, and the Hamburg State Opera, his repertoire includes works by Tchaikovsky, Donizetti, Dvořák, Mozart, Offenbach, Prokofiev, Puccini, Rossini, Strauss, and Verdi.
