36 - Salzburg Easter Festival: Richard Wagner: Das Rheingold

With Kirill Serebrennikov's dystopian, post-apocalyptic “Das Rheingold”, the Salzburg Easter Festival celebrates a fulminant opening. The prologue to Richard Wagner’s RING cycle, sets in motion a dark story of power and intrigue. Wagner’s music vividly depicts both the dramatic plot and the inner conflicts of the characters, with Christian Gerhaher appearing as Wotan for the first time.
