Award-winning filmmaker Susan Froemke takes you behind the scenes as one of the theater¹s finest stage directors teams up with one of the world¹s leading opera companies to tackle opera¹s most monumental challenge: the production of Wagner¹s epic Ring cycle.

Conceived by Wagner as a prologue to the Ring cycle, Das Rheingold sets forth the dramatic issues that play out in the three subsequent operas. Gold from the depths of the Rhine River is stolen by the dwarf Alberich, who uses it to forge a ring that will give him unlimited power. The theft sets in motion a course of events that will eventually alter the order of the universe. Bryn Terfel as Wotan, lord of the gods, heads the cast.
