Götterdämmerung: Latvian National Opera

演出简介

In 2011 the Latvian National Opera will present its new production of the last part of Richard Wagner's Ring cycle: Götterdämmerung.

In Götterdämmerung, the work's essential conflict between the longing for love and the greed for power — which Wagner developed and deepened during the course of the Ring's previous operas Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, and Siegfried — comes to a shattering culmination. The hero Siegfried unknowingly betrays his bride Brünnhilde. She swears vengeance — and sets off a chain of tragic events that brings the world to an end. Götterdämmerung concludes the Latvian National Opera's ambitious project to present Wagner's monumental tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen for the first time in over one hundred years in Riga. In 2013, the 200th anniversary of the composer's birthday, the LNO will perform the complete cycle.
