"Wotan is a complex and nuanced character, both vocally and, above all, in his performance. Scofield delivers a performance of undisputed caliber"

The latter is played by Daniel Scofield , who replaced Matthias Goerne for all performances of the production. The young American bass possesses all the notes required for the part; he presents a compact and generous instrument that is impressive, among other things, for the enviable confidence in his upper register. His performance is accompanied by a marked determination in his accent, noble phrasing, and the necessary stage authority. Wotan is a complex and nuanced character, both vocally and, above all, in his performance. Scofield delivers a performance of undisputed caliber, and we are confident that, with deeper exploration of the role, he will also acquire the necessary experience to establish himself among the most interesting Wagnerian interpreters of the moment. https://www.operalibera.net/wp/2026/01/25/die-walkure-grand-theatre-monte-carlo/
