Other opera DVD sets in this series of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen

Premiered in 1976, exactly one hundred years after the first performance of the Ring as a cycle, this production has set new aesthetic standards in the interpretation of Wagner's gargantuan masterpiece.

With young stage director Patrice Chereau and musical modernist Pierre Boulez, Wolfgang Wagner had put together a dream team to find a new, modern yet timeless approach to his grandfather's work, regarding both music and staging.

Filmed at great expense under the direction of Brian Large, this production has been a best-selling DVD title on Philips.

In Patrice Chereau's illuminating, violent Bayreuth production of Das Rheingold, Wotan wears the brocade coat of feudal times while the Rhine seems to be a reservoir with a modern power station - but, as Chereau states, it "could also be many other things... a menacing construction, a theatrical machine to produce a river, an allegorical shape that today generates energy: perhaps a mythological presence, the mythology of our time...The gods' ascent to Valhalla [is] a defiant flight into the future."

"This timeless production has been universally hailed as 'a monument'" - France-Soir.

"Chereau's vision, which has been adapted with remarkable skill by television director Brian Large, is a theatrical triumph" - Newsweek.
