One of the great Wagnerians, James Levine conducts The MET Orchestra in selections from Der Ring des Nibelungen. Wagner's epic operatic tetralogy tells a tale of gods and men in music of tremendous power, tenderness, and exquisite color. Wagner’s Ring features spectacular depictions of nature, lumbering giants, flying warrior maidens, all-consuming fire, and more in strikingly vivid music. Soprano Christine Goerke, called “a beacon of brilliance” (The New Yorker), and Stefan Vinke, a “robust heldentenor” (The Guardian) join the orchestra for Wagner’s brilliant music.
