Synopsis

"The orchestra displayed a superb command of the score, and musicians and singers much deserved the rousing ovation they received."

A semi-staged SINGAPORE PREMIERE of Wagner’s epic opera, sung in German with English surtitles A greedy Nibelung dwarf Alberich steals the magical Rhine gold and forges a ring with it, renouncing love to obtain its unlimited power and rule the world. When the ring is stolen by Wotan, King of the Gods, Alberich lays a dreadful curse on it — "ceaseless worry and death shall plague its bearer" — setting Richard Wagner’s epic Ring Cycle in motion.

Following the Singapore premiere of Die Walküre, the Orchestra of the Music Makers presents its prequel, Wagner's Das Rheingold, for the first time in Singapore. The opera is the first of the four-part Ring Cycle, an epic story about the struggle between Norse gods and mythological figures over the all-powerful ring. Director Tang Xinxin and conductor Joshua Kangming Tan lead an illustrious cast of international singers led by Greer Grimsley to bring Wagner's mythical world to life.

Admission Age:

6 and above.

Language: Sung in German with English surtitles
