Dresdner Musikfestspiele: 'Der Ring' for Children

About the Event

A family‐friendly adaptation of Richard Wagner's 'Ring Cycle' for children, presented by Taschenoper Lübeck and Dresden Festival Orchestra Brass Quintet. Richard Wagner's “Der Ring des Nibelungen” (The Ring of the Nibelung) features all manner of heroes, gods and mythical creatures, creating a fairytale cosmos in which the fateful ring controls all destinies. The exciting adventure story, which lasts a full sixteen hours in the original and inspired the composer of myths and legends, has now been adapted for young concertgoers by the award‐winning Taschenoper Lübeck. In addition to a wind quintet from the festival's own Dresdner Festspielorchester, a well‐trained ensemble of singers takes everyone (young and old) on a fantastic journey of discovery in the enchanting one‐hour adaptation.
