Casting details for the Mariinsky's Covent Garden performances of Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried, and Götterdämmerung are now available on the Royal Opera House website.
Amongst a bunch of names that mean nothing to me I spot Evgeny Nikitin as Wotan (except in Walküre), Larissa Diadkova as Fricka and Mikhail Petrenko as Hagen. Unfortunately none of the young singers who impressed me most in the Mariinsky's recent Barbican visit, but then they weren't exactly Wagnerian voices. We shall see.
