Klassik im Kino 2023/24: DAS REINGOLD

Director Barrie Kosky teams up with conductor Antonio Pappano to restage the first chapter of Wagner's Ring cycle.

When a precious gold treasure is stolen from the Rhine, it sets off a chain of destructive events that turn gods and mortals against each other for generations. Wagner's Ring cycle contains some of the greatest musical passages ever written for the operatic stage. Join us on a spectacular journey into the world of myths, dreams and memories, centered on the figure of Erda, Mother Earth herself. Antonio Pappano conducts Barrie Kosky's bold new interpretation of Wagner's Das Rheingold - marking the beginning of a new Ring cycle for the Royal Opera - with a stellar cast including Christopher Maltman (Wotan) and Christopher Purves (Alberich).
