Richard Wagner’s monumental opera cycle, “The Ring of the Nibelung,” stands as one of the most ambitious and influential works in the history of classical music. Comprising four epic operas—“Das Rheingold,” “Die Walküre,” “Siegfried,” and “Götterdämmerung”—the cycle weaves a complex narrative inspired by Norse mythology, exploring themes of power, greed, love, and destiny. Wagner’s innovative use of leitmotifs, recurring musical themes associated with characters, emotions, and ideas, adds depth and coherence to the storytelling, creating a rich tapestry of interconnected musical and dramatic elements.
Throughout the entire Ring Cycle, the Horn and Wagner Tuba are the busiest members of the brass section. Performing the cycle, or any of the individual works, demands exceptional skill and preparation. This collection of excerpts will help you prepare for the marathon that is Wagner’s Ring Cycle.
