Kirill Petrenko conducts Wagner’s “Das Rheingold”
Only those who renounce love can make use of the power of the golden ring – Das Rheingold, the prelude to Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen 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. The Berliner Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko present a concert performance of the work, with Christian Gerhaher appearing as Wotan for the first time.
