Only those who renounce love can harness the golden ring’s power. Das Rheingold, the opening of Richard Wagner’s monumental cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen, launches a dark tale of power and its abuse, love and intrigue. Wagner’s music depicts the dramatic action as vividly as it does the protagnoists’ inner conflicts. With a staged performance of Das Rheingold, the Berliner Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko open the Salzburg Easter Festival; a concert performance of the work at the Philharmonie Berlin follows. Christian Gerhaher makes his role debut as Wotan, the troubled god in charge.

“German”, and “human” – these are the two adjectives that are often used to describe Brahms’ Requiem. German, of course, due to the language of the texts that the composer selected for the mass, and human due to the piece’s humanist approach and its striking depth of feeling.

The Paris Opera continues its exploration of Richard Wagner’s colossal Ring, directed by Calixto Bieito. After the final scene of The Rhinegold, in which the gods ascend to Walhalla, The Valkyrie, the second part of the cycle, focuses on humans in the form of twins Sieglinde and Siegmund.
