Watch Wagner, Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg - Sebastian Weigle, Katharina Wagner, Bayreuther Festspielhaus

Richard Wagner's Ring of the Niebelung Cycle is perhaps the most complicated and massive operatic production in music history. Each opera is nearly four hours long, but imaginatively tells the tale of gods and goddesses vying for their individual marks on history. This production at the Festspielhaus in Hellerau, Germany, features some of the most renowned interpreters of Wagner who are active in the music world. Listen to the opera cycle that has influenced every theatrical production since the mid 1800s.
