Mit der Premiere von Wagners „Das Rheingold“ am 21. November beginnt ein neuer Stuttgarter „Ring“ – der siebte in der Historie der Staatsoper Stuttgart. Hier...

Gold oder Liebe? Am Anfang der Tetralogie steht eine folgenschwere Wahl, die strenggenommen keine ist. Weil Alberich die Liebe verwehrt bleibt, entsagt er ihr auf ewig und bringt sich in Besitz des glitzernden Rohstoffs, der zum Ring geschmiedet Herrschaft über alle Kreatur verspricht. Mit diesem Kardinalfehler setzt Wagner seine große Welt-Erzählung in Gang, in der auch andere – und sei es kurzzeitig – die Liebe für die Aussicht auf Machtgewinn eintauschen werden, was über kurz oder lang zum Kollaps führt. Stephan Kimmig zeigt den mythischen Urbeginn als traurig-groteskes Endzeitspiel. Götter, Riesen und Zwerge treffen in den Ruinen eines Nachtzirkus aufeinander: Spielfläche für die Erkundung schwindelerregender Höhenflüge und Absturzängste, aber auch Metapher für eine im rasenden Stillstand feststeckende Welt, wo drei Rheintöchter der Generation postmillennial unbeirrt nach Wegen in die Zukunft suchen.

Deutsch

Gold or rather love? At the beginning of Wagner’s tetralogy, there appears to be a momentous choice, which strictly speaking is not a choice at all. Because Alberich is denied love, he renounces it forever and takes possession of the glittering raw material that, forged into a ring, promises dominion over all creatures. With this cardinal mistake, Wagner sets in motion his grand world narrative, in which other characters will continue to exchange love – if ever so briefly – for the prospect of power, which sooner or later leads to collapse. Stephan Kimmig interprets the mythical beginning as a sadly grotesque end-time saga. Gods, giants and dwarves meet in the ruins of a night circus: a playground for exploring dizzying flights of fancy and fears of falling, but also a metaphor for a world stuck in a frenzied standstill, where three Rhine maidens of the postmillennial generation unflinchingly search for new paths into the future.

The Rhinegold by Wagner, Richard, Sat 25 May 2024, From (2024/2024), Directed by Stephan Kimmig,, Conductor Marek Janowski, Nicholas Carter, Opernhaus, Stuttgart, Germany
