Das Rheingold: Paris Opera
About the Event
Philippe Jordan will conduct the Prologue of one of the most ambitious project of the history of the arts in a new production by Calixto Bieito.
Wagner's words in a letter to Franz Liszt capture the essence of his accomplishment in composing Das Rheingold: 'No one has ever composed like this.' A prologue to three days of the Ring, The Rhine Gold conveys the pitiless fight between the gods and the dwarves to control both the gold and the world.
Performed in German, with french and english subtitles
