By Richard Wagner.
The Rhinegold is a prelude to the heroic struggles of this epic story and contains some of the most vivid music Wagner ever wrote.
In this striking new production from Munich by Nikolaus Lehnhoff , the set designs range from renaissance France to a space-age future. The Rhinemaidens guard the precious Rhinegold in the knowledge that only a man who renounces love can steal it from them. When they reject the advances of the ugly dwarf Albsrich and provoke his curse on love, they set in motion a train of events that will lead to disaster.
With an introduction by Norman Rodway in the role of George Bernard Shaw.
