Das Rheingold

About the show

Alberich steals the Rhinegold after renouncing love and forges a ring that grants power. Wotan and Loge travel to Nibelheim, seize Alberich’s hoard, and take the ring to pay the giants who built Valhalla and hold Freia hostage. Alberich curses the ring. Warned by Erda, Wotan gives it to the giants; Fafner kills Fasolt over the treasure. The gods enter Valhalla, while the Rhinemaidens mourn the loss of their gold.
