RICHARD WAGNER

 

The Copenhagen Ring

 

Royal Danish Opera

 

Production by Kasper Bech Holten

 

Seven-DVD set of Wagner’s gargantuan Ring Cycle – the celebrated, critically-acclaimed production at the Royal Danish Opera, come to be known as the Copenhagen Ring. First release of one of the most successful Ring Cycles of recent years, which received acclaim from critics across the world. Striking, memorable and controversial staging by Kasper Bech Holten. The action, experienced as an extended flashback, presents Wagner’s epic as a family saga from a feminist perspective. The production is visually stunning, disturbing and at times explicit.

 

“One Ring cycle I can recommend heartily – musically satisfying, dramatically engaging and full of memorable imagery.” Opera Now

 

“Superbly acted, more than decently sung and executed with a technical bravura that puts recent London stagings to shame.” Sunday Times
