Music and Libretto by Richard WagnerOctober 16, 18, 24, 26, 2014A very long time ago, a dwarf stole a golden treasure, and from it he forged a ring of power....

Though Pacific Opera Victoria is well known for having successfully scaled a few operatic peaks, it is not clear that even two productions of Richard Wagner’s Der Fliegende Holländer (The Flying Dutchman, 1987/2013) represent sufficient preparation for the company to undertake a presentation of Das Rheingold, the great Vorabend (Preliminary Evening) of The Ring of the Nibelung.

Dutchman, stirring and inspired as it is, represents the composer’s more youthful grappling with the challenges of opera. The Ring is mature Wagner – the product of transcendent genius – the Wagner for which people rearrange their lives to travel and experience what many find to be its inexhaustible splendours.

Pacific Opera Victoria has striven to provide as broad a look at the 400-year history of our art as we are able; with this production we stretch to the maximum our growing mastery of the art of the possible.

The Rhinegold by Wagner, Richard, From (2014/2014), Directed by Wim Trompert,, Conductor Timothy Vernon, Royal Theatre, Victoria, Canada
