The Rhinegold

Approved

The Lord of the Gods, maker of laws is in trouble. To shore up his own delusional ambitions and hang on to the Gods’ fading glory he chooses to break the very law which holds all races in balance. Mother Nature warns that greed for power will bring its own destruction. No-one listens.

Birmingham Opera Company’s eagerly awaited production of Wagner’s RhineGold came to Symphony Hall in Summer 2021. Performed in English, with its full musical forces: an orchestra of 87 players from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, a stellar international cast plus local volunteers. As ever, it was opera for our times.

The Rhinegold by Wagner, Richard, From (2021/2021), Directed by Graham Vick,, Conductor Alpesh Chauhan, Symphony Hall, Birmingham, United Kingdom
