Wagner: Das Rheingold
DAS RHEINGOLD, the thrilling first opera of Wagner's epic Ring Cycle, tells the story of the forging of the ring of power (the inspiration for J.R.R. Tolkien's RING TRILOGY). The opera is a tale of gods and giants, magic and prophecy, dwarves and maidens, and a terrible curse that will lead to the doom of Valhalla.

This film is the one existing record of Karajan's Salzburg Ring on video. Made in 1978, with imagination extra film sequences to complement the original stage production for the Easter Festival, it brings to life the epic grandeur of Karajan's concept, with the fallible gods, headed by Thomas Stewart's nobly-sung Wotan, depicted in all their mythic majesty.

In Patrice Chereau's illuminating, violent Bayreuth production of Das Rheingold, Wotan wears the brocade coat of feudal times while the Rhine seems to be a reservoir with modern-day power station. Yet, as Chereau says, it "could also be many other things ... perhaps a mythological presence, the mythology of our time ... The gods' ascent to Valhalla (is) a defiant flight into the future."

The gods Wotan and his wife Fricka have build a new castle and paid the giants by promising them Fricka's sister Freia, who grows the golden apples that give the gods their power. After a struggle, she is kidnapped and all the gods begin to age and weaken. To get her back they decide to steal the Ring and bargain with the...

The legendary production of Wagner's Das Rheingold, directed by Harry Kupfer at Bayreuth Festival Opera with designs by Hans Schavernoch, and conducted by Daniel Barenboim, is considered one of the greatest productions of this titanic work ever staged. For their innovative staging, Kupfer and his team turned away from the work's time of origin and located The Ring at a crossroads of history, a meeting-place of past, present and future, which sets the scene for the story's struggles of power and...
