Stephan Rugamer - Wagner: Siegfried - DVD

Raising the curtain on a work of superlatives the Staatsoper Unter den Linden represents the ultimate challenge for any opera house, Wagner's InchDer Ring des NibelungenInch. Christian Thielemann conducts the Ring tetralogy, and Dmitri Tcherniakov, highly praised for his psychologically sophisticated productions, led the playful all-star ensemble coherently through the panorama of characters, situations and events that unfolded like a universe and consistently interpreted the sheer vastness and the manifold twists and turns of the Ring cosmos. InchMusically, this 'Ring' blew away everything that had gone before - and we are talking about a performance history of more than one hundred years.Inch (Die Welt) In the third part of his Ring tetralogy, Wagner incorporates fairy-tale motifs into his epic mythological story. The well-known tale of InchThe Story of the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn FearInch is echoed in InchSiegfriedInch as well as episodes from the medieval InchNibelungenliedInch. InchAndreas Schager - a heroic tenor like the world is looking for.Inch (Berliner Morgenpost)

In this third part of the epic cycle, Der Ring des Nibelungen, Siegfried pursues his path to manhood. As parental love dissipates and is replaced by romantic love and desire, Wagner reflects on the experience of human life and the fact of mortality.

In the third work of Wagner's epic cycle, Der Ring des Nibelungen, Sigmund's shattered sword is forged once again and kills the dragon that guards the ring.
