'Das Rheingold'

(Wagner)
Scene 1. The Depths of the Rhine
Scene 2. An Open Space near the Rhine
Scene 3. The Cavern of Nibelheim
Scene 4. An Open Space near the Rhine
Conductor, Robert Heger
Relayed from The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden

There is no break in the music of The Rheingold, though there are four scenes. The first is in the depths of the Rhine, where the Nibelung Alberich steals from the Rhine maidens, who guard it, the gold whose possession can make him lord of the earth. In the second scene the gods are contemplating the great castle, Valhalla, which the giants, Fasolt and Fafner, have built for them. The price of their work was to be Freia, goddess of Youth, but when Loge, god of Fire, tells of Alberich's theft of the gold, and of its magic powers, the giants are filled with envy. They agree to accept the gold, instead of Freia, but insist on holding her meanwhile as a hostage. The third scene is the Nibelung's cavern, where Alberich, by virtue of the Ring, has forced the other dwellers underground to amass a mighty treasure for him. Wotan and Loge appear, make him captive and lead him to the upper world, the scene changing once more to their rocky height in front of Valhalla. The treasure is forced from Alberich and handed over to the giants ; but when the Ring is taken from him, he bestows on it the curse which follows it throughout the rest of the tale. Its power is immediately shown as the giants quarrel and Fafner slays his brother. The drama comes to an end with the entry of the gods into their new home.
