The Rhine is where Richard Wagner’s cycle of operas “Der Ring des Nibelungen” begins and ends – and it was beside the Rhine in 1851 that the composer first dreamed of this equally visionary and monumental work. Even if Wagner’s plans for a festival would ultimately be realised in an entirely different part of Germany, the performance of a “Ring on the Rhine” will always remain something very special.

After moving into Valhalla, Wotan has fathered nine Valkyries with various women, who recruit the fallen heroes from all battlefields into a powerful private army. With this he arms himself against Alberich, from whom he has elicited the Ring promising power, and who now wants to take revenge. Alberich also has a son, with whose help he wants to destroy the gods. The Stormy force of the “Valkyrie”prelude testifies to the time pressure Wotan is under. Only a new, blameless Generation can establish a new world order. Wotan relies on the love of the twin couple Siegmund and Sieglinde. But Wotan’s wife Fricka demands Siegmund’s death, because as the patroness of marriage and family she cannot tolerate adultery and incest. Scale of a new order.
