Das Rheingold

<div class='description'><p>"Michael Volle's Wotan [... ] is an event, [... ] Rolando Villazón plays a fabulous Loge. " (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) A myth, a heroic epic, a family saga - perhaps all of these together - make up Richard Wagner's Ring tetralogy. This epic production of the Staatsoper Unter den Linden sees a remarkable collaboration between Christian Thielemann, one of the most distinguished Wagner conductors of our time, and Dmitri Tcherniakov, one of the great, internationally celebrated opera directors of our time. The result is "A glittering feast of voices, sounds, ideas and precise direction of characters. Wagner at his best. " (BR Klassik) The Rheingold gives the background to the events that drive the main dramas of the whole Ring cycle. "In this Rheingold, Thielemann mastered the art of nuance and varied interpretation like no other, and without having to bank on exaggeration. " (Bachtrack. Com). "Funny and aching, ironic and horrifying" (The New York Times)</p></div>
