Rheingold opens Richard Wagner's great Ring of the Nibelung tetralogy: It tells the story of how the notorious ring was forged and cursed, thus unfolding its fatal lure. Not even the imposing entry of the gods in Valhalla can prevent the impending doom... The Wiener Staatsoper presents the Ring in a conclusive production by Sven-Eric Bechtolf.
