The Dallas Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor Fabio Luisi, will present an opera-in-concert version of Wagner’s epic Der Ring des Nibelungen (the Ring cycle) in its entirety, becoming the first American orchestra in recent history to do so.
The “Prologue” of Wagner’s masterpiece The Ring of the Nibelung sets the mighty saga in motion and prepares the audience for what is to come: the conflict between love and power, and, ultimately, redemption through love. Viewers will be plunged into the depths of the Rhine and hear the seductive siren song of the Rhine maidens; shudder at the curse placed on the possessor of all-power-giving ring of gold; fear for the folly of the gods as they traverse the rainbow bridge to enter their Valhalla palace - not knowing the doom that awaits them.
The concert will be performed with English supertitles. This is the start of the full Ring cycle, which will be presented through October 20.
