The acclaimed Deutsche Oper Berlin Ring cycle was issued in DVD and Blu-ray sets on Naxos in November 2022. The individual operas are now being made available to buy separately starting with Das Rheingold (2.110740/NBD0157V) in February, then Die Walküre (2.110741-42/NBD0158V) in March, Siegfried (2.110743-44/NBD0159V) in April and Götterdämmerung in May. • It is directed by the award-winning Norwegian director Stefan Herheim who is acclaimed as one of the most important stage directors of the moment, known for his emphasis on the historical contexts of ideas.
Götterdämmerung (‘Twilight of the Gods’) is the final opera of Wagner’s epic tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen (‘The Ring of the Nibelung’) in which his visionary masterpiece reaches its cataclysmic conclusion. Betrayal and death, murder and remorse, lie at the opera’s heart, in a work that draws together every plot element in writing of blazing intensity. As the Ring is restored to the Rhinemaidens, the age of the gods ends, with the opera offering the certainty of destruction but the consolation of renewal. Sir Donald Runnicles conducts an internationally acclaimed cast in this innovative new production by Norwegian director Stefan Herheim.
