Das Rheingold - Wagner/McPhee

By distilling Richard Wagner’s four full-length Ring Cycle operas into two three-hour evenings, composer and conductor McPhee’s “The Essential Ring” makes it easy for regional symphony orchestras and opera companies to program a more manageable version of the masterpiece. “The Essential Ring” maintains Wagner’s original dramatic structure, keeping the story and essential vocal selections intact while maintaining the powerful, unique and thrilling soundscape.
