With commentary at 64 kpbs .mp3, Tom Service’s discussion of the cycle, and a selection of images from the performances (Photo credit: Bill Cooper/ ROH 2018)

01. Das Rheingold

It's a world of mythical giants and castles, magic potions and scheming dwarves, and the central toxic influence of the all-powerful ring, guarded by the Rhinemaidens. A lecherous Nibelung dwarf called Alberich renounces love and steals the gold from the Rhinemaidens, and heads to Nibelheim where he builds an empire based on fear and slave labour. We also meet Wotan the chief god in his castle Valhalla, which he had built by the giants, and who when he hears of the all-powerful ring, decides he wants it for himself, and in turn steals it from Alberich.

A stellar cast led by John Lundgren as Wotan is conducted by Antonio Pappano, and the cycle is presented by Tom Service.

SYNOPSIS
The branches of the World Ash Tree held together the universe:; Riesenheim, home of the giants; the earth, with the Rhine and his daughters; and Nibelheim, inhabited by the Nibelungs. The god Wotan drank from the spring of eternal knowledge beneath the World Ash Tree, sacrificing an eye in return for wisdom..

Scene 1
The three Rhinedaughters – Woglinde, Wellgunde and Flosshilde – are playing. Alberich, a Nibelung, watches them, utterly enchanted. Sunlight falls on the gold. Alberich asks about the treasure. They tell him that it is the Rhinegold, which if made into a ring would give its owner infinite power over the world; it can be forged, however, only by someone who renounces love. Alberich seizes the gold.

Scene 2
Fricka sees the fortress built for the gods by the giants Fafner and Fasolt. Wotan is overjoyed at the sight of it. Fricka reminds him that as payment he promised to give the giants her sister, Freia. She reproaches Wotan for his willingness to trade love for power, but he replies that he is depending on Loge’s ingenuity to solve the problem.

Freia arrives, terrified, followed by Fafner and Fasolt. Wotan tells the giants to choose another form of payment. Fasolt points to the laws carved on Wotan’s spear and reminds him that they are binding. Loge says he has travelled the world looking for an acceptable substitute for Freia, but has learnt that nothing is of greater value than a woman’s love. He found only one person who would sacrifice love:

Alberich, who stole the Rhinegold. Loge tells Wotan that the Rhinedaughters want his help to get it back. Fasolt and Fafner ask about the gold and Loge explains that a ring forged from it gives absolute power. Gods and giants alike are greedy for it. The giants say they will exchange Freia for Alberich’s treasure. As the giants leave with Freia, the gods rapidly age: without her apples they are helpless. Wotan resolves to get the gold and descends with Loge to Nibelheim.

Scene 3
Alberich torments his brother Mime, who has made a magic helmet, the Tarnhelm. Mime tells Loge his tale of woe and recounts how the Nibelungs, once contented craftsmen, are enslaved by Alberich. Alberich returns, brandishing his ring and driving his terrified slaves back. Alberich turns himself into a giant figure, whereupon Loge and Wotan pretend to be frightened. When Loge asks if he can become very small, Alberich transforms himself into a toad. Wotan and Loge pounce on him, grab the Tarnhelm and drag him out of Nibelheim.

Scene 4
Loge and Wotan mock Alberich and tell him that the cost of his freedom is his gold. Wotan now insists Alberich give him the ring too, Alberich’s sin was against himself alone; Wotan’s will be against all existence if he takes the ring. Wotan tears it away from Alberich, who puts a curse on it: it will bring anguish and death to those who possess it while everyone else will be consumed by envy.

Freia returns with the giants, restoring the gods’ strength. Fasolt does not want to give Freia back, and orders that the gold be piled up to hide her from his sight. Erda, the earth goddess, appears. She reminds Wotan of the curse on the ring and says a dark day is dawning for the gods: he must surrender the ring. Erda disappears and Wotan agrees to hand over the ring. Freia is freed. When Fasolt seizes the ring, Fafner kills him. A rainbow bridge leads the gods to their new fortress, which Wotan names Valhalla (hall of the slain).


02. Die Walküre

Continuing Wagner's Ring cycle, recorded at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and first broadcast in 2018.

This evening, Wagner's opera Die Walküre, the second opera in the The Ring of the Nibelung cycle.

Time has passed since the gods moved to the their new home Vallhalla, and their leader Wotan is still in search of the gold that will grant him unlimited power. He wants to use the twins Siegmund and Sieglinde, born to him out of wedlock, to retrieve it. But Fricka, as guardian of marriage, insists that Siegmund pays for his husband transgressions and wants him killed. Wotan reluctantly agrees and forces the Valkyrie Brunnhilde, his warrior daughter, also raised out of wedlock, not to protect Siegmund in a fight. But the walkyrie falls in love with Siegmund and disobeys Wotan, and as a result she is stripped of her divinity and left on a fire-encircled rock. Brunnhilde’s efforts are useless as Siegmund pays with his life in this doomed saga that moves from the realm of the gods to the human sphere.

Sir Antonio Pappano conducts a cast with Stuart Skelton as Siegmund, Nina Stemme as Brünnhilde, John Lundgren as Wotan and Sarah Connolly as Fricka.

SYNOPSIS
Wotan has been prey to anxiety ever since he stole the ring from Alberich and used it to pay the giants rather than returning it to the Rhinedaughters. Desperate to protect himself should Alberich regain the ring, he has sought out Erda, who bore him the warrior-maiden Brünnhilde. Wotan, in the meantime, has also fathered Siegmund and Sieglinde, the Wälsung twins, with a mortal woman. With Siegmund, Wotan hopes to create a free being who will recover the ring, for he fears the curse Alberich placed on him when he violated his own rule of law.

Act I
A storm is raging. A man takes shelter. Sieglinde offers him first water, then mead, which he asks her to share. Hunding returns and offers the stranger grudging hospitality. He notices a resemblance between his wife and the stranger. The stranger tells his tale. Plagued by misfortune, the fugitive recalls the sword his father once promised he would find in his hour of greatest need. Sieglinde returns, having drugged Hunding. She recounts how, at her enforced wedding to Hunding, a stranger appeared and thrust a sword into the tree trunk. No one has been able to pull it out. She is convinced he is her twin; she names him Siegmund and urges him to remove the sword from the tree. He draws it out and claims Sieglinde as both bride and sister.

Act II
Wotan instructs Brünnhilde, his favourite Valkyrie daughter, to ensure that Siegmund wins the fight with Hunding. Fricka demands to know how Wotan can both sanction incest and uphold the supremacy of the gods so Wotan tells Brünnhilde that she must not protect Siegmund and threatens the direst consequences if she disobeys.

Brünnhilde appears to Siegmund and announces that he will die in battle and join the other heroes in Valhalla. There he will meet his father. When Siegmund learns that he cannot take Sieglinde he refuses the afterlife. He threatens to kill both Sieglinde and their unborn child, announced by the Valkyrie, rather than be separated from her. Moved by compassion, Brünnhilde promises to safeguard Siegmund. Hunding’s horn is heard. Brünnhilde tries to protect Siegmund but Wotan shatters Siegmund’s sword with his spear. Siegmund is struck dead. Brünnhilde gathers the pieces of broken sword and flees with Sieglinde.

Act III
The Valkyries gather dead warriors for Valhalla. Brünnhilde arrives and the Valkyries are shocked to see that she is accompanied by a mortal woman. Sieglinde wants to die, but when Brünnhilde tells her that she is carrying Siegmund’s son, who will be the noblest hero in the world, she begs protection. Wotan arrives and the Valkyries try to hide Brünnhilde from his wrath, he denounces her disobedience and banishes her from Valhalla. She will be left to sleep until a mortal man wakes her and she will be turned into a ‘domestic’ wife. Wotan remains unforgiving, even when she tells him that a Wälsung hero will be born to Sieglinde. Finally, Brünnhilde asks to be surrounded by fire so that only an outstanding hero will find her. Wotan agrees to this solution and bids her farewell. He calls on Loge, the fire god, to encircle her with flames.

Synopsis
Mime cannot forge Nothung, Siegmund’s sword which Wotan broke long ago. With this sword Siegfried could kill the dragon Fafner, who guards the Nibelung hoard with the all-powerful ring and magic Tarnhelm. Mime’s aim in raising the boy has been to gain the ring. He can only wait, impotent, trapped in a stalemate, not realizing that ‘only he who never felt fear can fashion Nothung now’.



Act I

Mime has spent years of thankless toil trying to make a sword for Siegfried. Siegfried returns home with a bear that terrifies Mime. Mime offers Siegfried his latest sword, which breaks as easily as the others had done. Siegfried attacks Mime for his incompetence, but Mime reminds the boy of the care he has lavished on him over the years. Siegfried responds that, though Mime has taught him many things, he has not taught him to like him. Mime’s insistence that he is both his father and mother enrages Siegfried, who demands to know who his true parents were. Mime cautiously reveals how he found Sieglinde dying in childbirth and claims that she entrusted her infant, Siegfried, into his care. When asked for proof he produces the fragments of Nothung, once wielded by Siegfried’s father. Revelling in his  release from any bond to Mime, Siegfried demands that Nothung be reforged so that he may go out into the world.



Wotan appears in disguise as the Wanderer and offers wisdom in exchange for hospitality. He suggests to the unwilling Mime that they play a game of riddles, the stake being their heads. The Wanderer answers Mime’s questions about the dwarfs, giants and gods in great detail. Challenged in turn, Mime proves that he knows of Siegfried’s relationship to Wotan (he is his grandson), and that Siegfried is destined to kill Fafner with Nothung, but he cannot say who will forge the sword. The Wanderer tells the desperate Mime that ‘only he who never felt fear can fashion Nothung now’, and that Mime shall also forfeit his head, thus teaching him that he cannot be the one to accomplish the task. Siegfried returns to find Mime in a state of terror. Seeking a way out of his dilemma, Mime attempts to teach the boy what it feels like to be afraid. Siegfried finds the idea tantalizing and is eager to learn fear from encountering Fafner. When Mime confesses that he cannot forge Nothung, Siegfried takes on the task himself. Amazed by Siegfried’s methods, Mime is delighted to see that the boy will succeed, but to save himself he brews a drugged drink to offer Siegfried after his fight with the dragon. He will then kill Siegfried and seize the ring.



Act II

Alberich keeps watch outside Fafner’s cave, waiting for an opportunity to regain the ring. When the Wanderer appears, Alberich recognizes him as Wotan and attacks him as a thief. Wotan claims he is no longer interested in the ring and warns Alberich of Mime’s intentions. Playing on Alberich’s desire and fear, Wotan suggests that Alberich pass on the warning. He wakes Fafner, who is not troubled. Alberich swears that he will regain the ring and bring about the downfall of the gods. Mime and Siegfried arrive at the cave. Mime’s dread only provokes curiosity in Siegfried, who is confident of his ability to defeat Fafner. Left on his own to wait, Siegfried contemplates his origins and his loneliness and begins to understand his being in terms of what confronts him in nature. He tries to communicate with the birds, first with a pipe and then with his horn, which wakes Fafner. Siegfried kills Fafner but does not understand his warning about the ring’s curse. When Siegfried withdraws his sword he is burnt by the dragon’s blood, which he tastes. He now understands the Woodbird who tells him to seek the ring and the Tarnhelm in the cave.



While Siegfried is in the cave, Mime and Alberich bicker. Siegfried returns and the Woodbird tells him that he will now understand Mime’s murderous plans. As he becomes aware of Mime’s intention to kill him, Siegfried kills him first, as the Wanderer predicted. No happier for all the new complexity he has learnt, the boy asks the Woodbird for more advice: how can he find a companion? The bird tells him of the wonderful woman who sleeps on a rock surrounded by fire. Siegfried sets off in wild excitement to find Brünnhilde.



Act III

Wotan wakes Erda, hoping her knowledge will provide him with some self-justification. She is unresponsive and tells him to seek answers from the Norns or from their own daughter, Brünnhilde. When Wotan reveals how he punished Brünnhilde for disobedience, Erda accuses him of hypocrisy. Wotan sees she has nothing to offer him and dismisses her. He now claims that he desires the end of the gods. He believes that Siegfried and Brünnhilde, glorying in love, will redeem the world from the curse of the ring. Wotan prepares to meet Siegfried for the first time, as the Wanderer. Siegfried becomes irritated with the older man’s questions. Provoked, the Wanderer alludes to his true relationship to Siegfried, hints at his power and bars his way. When Siegfried smashes Wotan’s spear, Wotan has to accept that his power is at an end. Siegfried discovers Brünnhilde. He removes her armour and, seeing a female form, is afraid for the first time in his life. Calling on his mother for courage, he kisses Brünnhilde and wakes her. Brünnhilde avoids responding to his passion. Confused, Siegfried briefly takes her to be his mother. While she tries to explain her spiritual love and his duty to the world, his fervour increases. Siegfried’s persistence and passion ultimately conquer Brünnhilde. Full of ardour, she calls for the destruction of Valhalla and the twilight of the gods. Nothing will daunt their absolute love, not even the end of the world.




04. Götterdämmerung

This evening sees the conclusion of Wagner's Ring cycle, recorded and first broadcast in 2018.

As Wagner's epic drama reaches its conclusion in the fourth and final opera, the love between Siegfried and Brünnhilde is torn apart by the malignant machinations and lust for the Ring of the black-hearted Hagen. Brünnhilde's revenge brings Siegfried's death, and ultimately the fiery destruction of the gods and Valhalla itself.

The Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and a stellar cast led by Nina Stemme as Brünnhilde and Stefan Vinke as Siegfried is conducted by Antonio Pappano in Keith Warner's acclaimed production. Presented by Tom Service, who is joined in the box by the Rev. Lucy Winkett.

The Norns, daughters of Erda, used to spin the rope of destiny in the shade of the World Ash Tree, near the Spring of Wisdom. Wotan sacrificed an eye to drink at the spring; when he broke off one of the branches of the tree for a spear, the tree died from its wound and the spring dried up. The Norns moved to Brünnhilde’s rock. Gunther, chief of the Gibichungs, and his sister Gutrune are the legitimate children of Grimhild; Hagen, their half-brother, is the illegitimate son she bore to Alberich for a payment. Hagen is thus the product of lovelessness and the pursuit of power: his father conceived him solely to get the ring back.



Prologue

Brünnhilde’s rock

The Norns continue to spin the rope of destiny, though they no longer know everything that has happened, is happening or will happen; they are not even sure whether the light they see is dawn or the fire surrounding the rock. As night wanes, their vision fades. Alberich’s curse on the ring gnaws at their rope. It breaks. The Norns return below to their mother, Erda. From now on mankind is in charge of its own destiny. Brünnhilde urges Siegfried to action in the world. He gives Brünnhilde the ring, in gratitude for all she has taught him and as a token of their love. In return she gives him Grane, her horse.



Act I

The Hall of the Gibichungs on the Rhine

Gunther is preoccupied with whether his renown is worthy of the Gibich name. Hagen points out that there is a great treasure that the Gibichungs have not won and, further, that neither Gunther nor his sister is married. Hagen advises Gunther to marry Brünnhilde, the noblest woman in the world. He suggests Gutrune use a drug to make the hero Siegfried fall in love with her. Brünnhilde is protected by the fire that surrounds her rock, but Siegfried can win her for Gunther. At that moment Siegfried’s horn is heard. Gunther bids Siegfried welcome. They exchange vows of friendship. Hagen inquires about the Nibelung treasure. Siegfried shows him the helmet and explains that he left all the rest behind except for a ring, which he gave to Brünnhilde. Hagen tells him the helmet can transform its wearer into any shape and transport him instantly to any place.



Gutrune brings the magic potion. Siegfried drinks to his beloved Brünnhilde. But once he has drunk he falls passionately in love with Gutrune, losing all memory of Brünnhilde. For Gutrune’s sake he offers to help Gunther win the woman he desires. Gunther describes Brünnhilde and the fire that surrounds her rock. Siegfried offers to use the helmet to win her for Gunther. Gunther and Siegfried swear an oath of blood-brotherhood. Hagen does not participate, explaining that his cold blood would spoil it. Gunther and Siegfried set off, leaving Hagen on watch. He gloats over the success of his plans and looks forward to owning the ring.



Brünnhilde’s rock

Brünnhilde is astounded at the arrival of her sister Waltraute. She misunderstands the reason for the visit, assuming that Wotan has forgiven her and that Waltraute has come to share her love and joy. Waltraute explains that, on the contrary, Wotan knows nothing of her mission; he sits silently in Valhalla, with his broken spear in his hand, waiting for the end, which will be signalled by the return of the ravens he sent out. But he did tell Waltraute that if Brünnhilde gave the ring back to the Rhinedaughters she would save both him and the world. By now Brünnhilde is indifferent to Valhalla’s fate. She refuses absolutely to give away the ring, Siegfried’s pledge of his love. Waltraute leaves in despair. Brünnhilde sees the flames surrounding the rock flare up. She hears Siegfried’s horn and goes to meet him, only to find him in Gunther’s shape. Siegfried disguised as Gunther wrests the ring from her hand. He says that his sword Nothung will separate them that night.

Act II

In front of the Hall of the Gibichungs

As Hagen sleepily keeps watch, Alberich reminds his son to nurture the spirit of hatred in his soul, to plot Siegfried’s destruction and to obtain the ring. As day dawns Alberich fades from Hagen’s consciousness. Siegfried returns with the news that Brünnhilde yielded to him in his disguise as Gunther. Gutrune goes to gather all the women to share in the celebrations, leaving Hagen to call the men.



Hagen sounds his horn as though summoning the men to battle. He then announces the wedding of Gunther and Brünnhilde. The men laugh at his grim joke. Hagen reminds them that they must defend Brünnhilde and avenge her if she is wronged. When Gunther welcomes Gutrune and Siegfried as the second bridal pair, Brünnhilde is appalled that her lover does not recognize her. She notices the ring on his finger and accuses him of stealing it from Gunther. Siegfried remembers that it came from the Nibelung hoard. Enraged, Brünnhilde rounds on Siegfried, claiming that he slept with her. He swears on Hagen’s spear point that he kept his word to Gunther. She swears she spoke the truth and insists that Siegfried must die for his treachery. Siegfried invites the men and women to enjoy the wedding feast.

Brünnhilde broods over the mystery. Hagen offers to avenge her, but she reveals she used magic to make her lover invincible; she left his back unprotected, however, as no hero would turn it to his enemies. Hagen realizes this is where he can strike. Brünnhilde insults Gunther for his cowardice and, together with Hagen, she persuades him that Siegfried must die. Gunther thinks how Gutrune will suffer; Brünnhilde curses her for having stolen Siegfried’s love; Hagen suggests concealing the murder as an accident during a hunt. Gunther and Brünnhilde appeal to Wotan, the god of oaths, to avenge their wrong. Hagen calls on his father, Alberich, and looks forward to the day when they regain possession of the ring.



Act III

By the Rhine

The Rhinedaughters still long for the gold that was stolen from them. Siegfried appears and they flirt with him and ask for the ring on his finger. When he does decide to give it to them they warn him that it was cursed by the Nibelung, who stole the Rhinegold from them, forged the ring and then lost it. Siegfried is doomed to die, unless he gives it back to them. Their threats leave him unmoved: he refuses to give them the ring. The Rhinedaughters resolve to ask Brünnhilde for help. Hagen, Gunther and the men arrive. Siegfried tells them that the Rhinedaughters warned him he would die. As Gunther broods gloomily, Hagen asks Siegfried to relate his youthful adventures. He tells them about Mime, Nothung, his fight with Fafner, the birdsong he understood, how he found the ring and helmet and killed Mime. As Siegfried’s memory falters, Hagen offers him a drink. Now Siegfried remembers how he heard about Brünnhilde,  how he passed through the fire, awakened her and embraced her. Hagen points to the ravens that circle over Siegfried and then fly away towards the Rhine. Hagen stabs him in the back, claiming that he has punished perjury. Before he dies, Siegfried remembers when he woke Brünnhilde from sleep.



The Hall of the Gibichungs

Gutrune’s nightmares stop her sleeping. When Siegfried’s corpse is brought in, she turns in fury on Gunther. He blames Hagen, who justifies his action and claims the ring as his reward. Hagen kills Gunther. Brünnhilde intervenes to silence the squabbling. She has listened to the Rhinedaughters and now understands everything. She orders Siegfried’s funeral pyre to be built and longs to join him in death. She tells Wotan to acknowledge his guilt, his responsibility for Siegfried’s death, adding that Wotan can now rest. She invites the Rhinedaughters to take the ring from her ashes when it has been cleansed by the fire. Brünnhilde orders the ravens back to Valhalla, taking Loge with them. With her horse, Grane, she goes to meet Siegfried in death. Hagen reaches for the ring but the Rhinedaughters drown him and rescue it. Valhalla and all the gods are destroyed by the fire.
