#ringsf

The curse has taken Siegfried, Brunhilde has taken the Ring, she’s thrown herself on Siegfried’s pyre, burning away the curse, the flames reach Valhalla and bring Ragnarok, and the Rhein swells it’s banks so the Maidens can take back the Gold and restore balance to the universe. The Ring Cycle is now now complete. For me, Der Ring des Nibelungen is about inspiration. I have studied it for many years, and I find, despite how much I learn, The Ring always has more to give - it is the single most complex work of art ever created by a single person, and I can barely comprehend the genius required to create something so complete. Seeing it live inspires me to excel - in my art, my work and my life. #sfopera @sfopera #ringsf #thering #ringcycle #gotterdammerung #ragnarok #opera #operacation #oneringtorulethemall (at San Francisco Opera)

Today the ring concludes with Götterdämmerung @sfopera #ringsf nearly 6 hours of the most beautiful music and voices! #ring #wagner #diewalküre #sfopera #Valhalla #ringsf #Götterdämmerung (at San Francisco Opera)

Siegfried has slain the dragon, recovered the Ring and awaken Brunhilde from her decades-long sleep. Wotan, safe in the knowledge that Alberich doesn’t have the Ring has given up his desire, and consigned himself to the fact that the gods are passé and the world is better left to mortals. However, Alberich has stolen a play from Wotan’s book, and fathered a mortal son of his own to take the Ring from Siegfried. ... the chandelier of the War Memorial Opera House has 588 bulbs, and every two years, three electricians climb down inside to change the bulbs, which they did just before the opening of the Ring Cycle. #sfopera @sfopera #ringsf #ringcycle #derringdesnibelungen #thering #opera #operacation #oneringtorulethemall (at San Francisco Opera)
