The libretto is considered great poetry and drama of itself, accounted a masterpiece by manyLast week was Das Rheingold which covered the forging of the ring of power, its curse, and the jealousy and death that follows after the lust for itThis week is Die WalküreLink to discord server if you want to keep track of threadshttps://discord.gg/XhFGx57VKm
>>24950211Wait, I missed the Das Rheingold listen?
>>24950211Any links for videos of stage productions of the Ring? I have the book, but I think it probably should be enjoyed visually and audibly.
>>24950331Apparently >>24950336I use a streaming service. Most will give you a free trial. Metropolitan Opera has the most traditional production but there are a lot of options. YouTube also has several productions The work can be enjoyed pretty well by listening while reading the libretto, especially since the selection of audio recordings is much wider than visual recordings so you have a lot of latitude for personal taste
>>24950211What is the best way of experiencing The Ring cycle outside of seeing the opera live (while on significant mounts of MM)
>>24950211>muh discorddiscuss here or fuck off
What happened to Wagneranon? I liked his massive posts quoting an analysis on the Ring Cycle.
It's really weird that I was googling Der Ring des Niebelungen like half an hour before I saw this thread, which had already been up for hours. I had not scrolled through the catalog and therefore had not subconsciously picked up the idea. I was in another thread, someone asked about something related to damming, and I wanted to google what Götterdämmerung means. Then I read on about Der Ring des Niebelungen, and I actually got the idea to try to read the libretto. Then I go into the /lit/ catalog shortly after and this thread is there. I wonder though if OP was inspired by my posting of Wilhelm Tell and Lieder in this thread:>>24905503
