* Wagner's GotterdammerungWagner's Gotterdammerung

Time: 9:00 am

NY Metropolitan Opera - Live in HD via Satellite Robert Lepage’s production of the final opera in the Ring cycle, Götterdämmerung, opens January 27 at the Met. In the cycle’s thrilling conclusion, in which deception and greed lead to a global cataclysm, Deborah Voigt and Katarina Dalayman share the role of Brünnhilde and Gary Lehman and Stephen Gould share the role of Siegfried. The cast also includes Waltraud Meier as Waltraute, Eric Owens as Alberich, and, as the Gibichungs who scheme to destroy Siegfried, Hans-Peter König as Hagen, Wendy Bryn Harmer as Gutrune, and Iain Paterson as Gunther. “Götterdämmerung is different from the other Ring operas because it is about society,” Lepage says. “The more the story progresses, the more it moves away from the realm of the gods to focus on the power and ambition of human beings. Götterdämmerung is about Brünnhilde in society, her journey as a character, and her role as the heroine who must restore balance to the world.” Lepage’s design team from Siegfried reassembles to create the visuals for the final segment of the Ring.
