Only those who renounce love can harness the golden ring’s power. Das Rheingold, the opening of Richard Wagner’s monumental cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen, launches a dark tale of power and its abuse, love and intrigue.

Kirill Petrenko
Wagner’s music depicts the dramatic action as vividly as it does the protagnoists’ inner conflicts. With a staged performance of Das Rheingold, the Berliner Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko open the Salzburg Easter Festival; a concert performance of the work at the Philharmonie Berlin follows.
Christian Gerhaher makes his role debut as Wotan, the troubled god in charge.
