Wagner / Orchestra Of The Deutsche Oper Berlin - Der Ring Des Nibelungen - Blu-ray

The tetralogy of four operas that form Der Ring des Nibelungen ('The Ring of the Nibelung') explores the conjunction of love and power in a mythic landscape in which true power resides in possession of the ring. Composed over more than a quarter of a century, monumental in scale, and structured after the precedent of Greek drama, the cycle was first performed in 1876. Staged by the award-winning director Stefan Herheim, this innovative new production from Deutsche Oper Berlin features a leading international cast conducted by Sir Donald Runnicles.
