Ya-Chung Huang - Wagner: Siegfried - BLU-RAY

Siegfried is the third of the four operas that comprise Wagner's epic tetralogy InchDer Ring des NibelungenInch ('The Ring of the Nibelung'). Siegfried, raised by the evil dwarf Mime, discovers that he is the son of Siegmund and Sieglinde. He must negotiate betrayals and dangers in a landscape of dragons and magic in order to kill Fafner, who has the Ring, as well as Mime, who has designs on it. Finally, in music of resplendent drama, Siegfried, the hero who knows no fear, can penetrate the ring of fire to awaken the sleeping Valkyrie, Brunnhilde.

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)
