Das Rheingold is the opening of this extraordinary production of The Ring from Het Muziektheater Amsterdam, with the orchestra taking its place both in the pit and on the astonishing stage. <newline>The fantastic stage direction by Pierre Audi succeeds in forging a profound unity combining the lyrical, mythical and philosophical qualities of Wagner’s work. Breathtaking sets by George Tsypin, superb costumes by Oscar-winner Eiko Ishioka and the passionate performances of the soloists and Residentie Orchestra under the inspired guest conductor Hartmut Haenchen all contribute to an intense total experience that will leave a permanent impression. This production of The Ring of the Nibelungen is based on the new collected works of Richard Wagner. <newline> <newline>John Bröcheler, Henk Smit, Graham Clark, Reinhild Runkel, Chris Merritt, Jürgen Freier / Residentie Orkest / Hartmut Haenchen <newline>Stage Director Pierre AudiThe Ring forged, a documentary introduction to Wagner’s Ring from Het Muziektheater Amsterdam, including interviews with Hartmut Haenchen, Pierre Audi and the principal cast <newline> <newline>Cast Gallery &amp; Synopsisnone198 mins£29.99>
