In the organizer's words:
In the final part of the tetralogy, the theatrical devices that dominate Stefan Herheim's version of the RING also come together for the grand finale: the concert grand piano, where the play once began, is just as present as the white cloth that mutates, among other things, into the shroud of the murdered hero. And of course the suitcases are also present, which in the course of the tetralogy have repeatedly created new landscapes and play situations. In the end, this world sinks, only to be reborn in the next play ... Conductor: Nicholas Carter [Cycle 1] / Sir Donald Runnicles; Director: Stefan Herheim; With Clay Hilley, Thomas Lehman, Jordan Shanahan, Albert Pesendorfer, Ricarda Merbeth, Felicia Moore, Annika Schlicht and others.
In the last part of the tetralogy, the horizon widens again: "To new deeds" Siegfried sets out and encounters people who are dominated by greed for power and wealth and who will stop at nothing to achieve their goal. Without the help of Brünnhilde, who stays behind, the hero becomes a victim of the intrigues at the Gibichungen court. But his fall also heralds the downfall of this old world, which still suffers from the curse with which Alberich in the RHEINGOLD had placed on the all-powerful ring. Only the sacrifice of the knowing Brünnhilde opens up a chance: by returning the stolen gold to the Rhine and extinguishing her own existence by self-immolation, she clears the way for a new beginning. From Brünnhilde's ashes, Wagner musically allows the love motif to blossom, which has so far been heard only once, in the third act of WALKÜRE. At the end of the GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG there is thus not only doom, but also hope. The play can begin again - whether it will be different next time?
