About DAS RHEINGOLD

A CURSED RING GRANTS ITS OWNER SUPREME POWER—AND THEIR DOOM.

The vengeful Alberich—a power-hungry dwarf—steals the magic Rhine gold to forge an all-powerful ring. Wotan, king of the gods, entraps Alberich and relinquishes the gold ring to the giants as payment for building Valhalla. The cursed ring quickly claims its first victim.

Wagner’s tale of power, greed, giants, and gods is an epic myth with music to match. Don’t miss this ultimate fantasy—the inspiration for Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.

Leading this all-star cast in a role debut as the chief god: Nicholas Brownlee, who wows with his commanding presence, huge voice, and “handsome mahogany tone” (The New Yorker). As his imperious wife and sometimes partner-in-crime, you’ll love Amanda Echalaz, “whose huge reputation lives up to the hype.”—Daily Telegraph, London
