Inside "Das Rheingold” - Part 2: Crafting the interpretation

From the creator

Wagner’s Rheingold can be staged in many different ways. In the second part of our documentary, we explore director Kirill Serebrennikov's interpretation for the Salzburg Easter Festival. He talks about his concept of relocating the story to a fictional, post-apocalyptic Africa; we encounter magical sculptures, and speak with members of the Berliner Philharmoniker about the solitude of the bass clarinet and the horn section's “antennae”. Our own Wotan, Christian Gerhaher, also has his say, reflecting on the mixture of joy and doubt involved in preparing his role. 🎥 Tobias Möller, Adam Janisch Part 1: https://youtu.be/lVn_qbYBqhc https://osterfestspiele.at/ https://www.berliner-philharmoniker.de/
