SANTA FE COUNTY, NEW MEXICO, AUG 6 – Ryan Speedo Green marks a major career milestone with his first time performing Wotan in Wagner's demanding Die Walküre role, praised by critics and conductor Gustavo Dudamel.
- During the Santa Fe run of Wagner’s Die Walküre, continuing through August 21, 2025, Ryan Speedo Green made his debut performance in the role of Wotan.
- Green prepared intensively, having rehearsed a smaller role for three months, and discussed time demands for Wotan with conductor James Gaffigan before arriving in Santa Fe.
- Conductor Gaffigan called the Wotan role the "Mount Everest for this particular voice type" due to its length and difficulty, which Green describes as the pinnacle of operatic roles.
- Green stated, "It feels almost as if this is the pinnacle," and Dudamel said everyone sensed Green's "God-like presence" from his first moment onstage.
- Green said his Wotan is still developing and grows with each performance, marking a major ascent in his career that has transformed his professional trajectory.
