Mario Hoff

Germany's world-famous Deutsches Nationaltheater Und Staatskapelle Weimar sets the stage for Richard Wagner's opera, which tells the story of a magic ring that will let its bearer rule the world, but only by someone who first renounces love. Michael Shulz directs and Carl St. Clair conducts this stirring 2008 production. Mario Hoff, Alexander Günther, Jean-Noël Briend, Erin Caves and Frieder Aurich star.

The Ring in Weimar enters its final round as a drama of hate, jealousy and betrayal. A dark e minor chord opens Richard Wagner's "Götterdämmerung" and creates a threatening atmosphere from the very first moment. The various leitmotifs and themes of the entire tetralogy are brought together in the "Götterdämmerung" to form a musical whole from which there is no escape

The Ring in Weimar enters its third round as a fairy tale of enlightenment and educational drama of a hero and antihero who seeks his origins and discovers his sexuality. What was meant to be a cheerful satyr play becomes a dream and trauma of re-encounters and voyages of discovery in breathtaking time lapse Wotan and Alberich can't let each other hate each other.
