Götterdämmerung

In the 2011–12 season, the Metropolitan Opera presented its first new production of Wagner’s complete Ring cycle in more than 20 years. Directed by acclaimed theater artist Robert Lepage, this landmark staging combines state-of-the-art technology with traditional storytelling and features a cast of some the world’s greatest Wagner singers. The Ring comes full circle with its cataclysmic finale, in which one woman’s sacrifice redeems the world. Deborah Voigt as Brünnhilde stars opposite Jay Hunter Morris as Siegfried, and Fabio Luisi conducts. Original Live in HD transmission: February 11, 2012
