Reif der Nebellungen

An unprecedented version of Richard Wagner’s powerful operatic work.
Matthias Meinharter and Frans Poelstra took over the activities of opera singers and dancers, the orchestra (in the ditch), the statisticians and the souffleur, the reconstruction workers and the technicians; in short of all participants.

All scenes of the tetralogy are converted into miniature performances. Each opera ("Das Rheingold", "Die Walküre", "Siegfried", "Götterdämmerung") was compressed into a approx. 20 minute long part. They were retiteled to: "Scheingold", "Willkür", "Sick-Fred" and "Götzenhämmerung".
Thus, all four operas, 9 acts, 35 scenes and 4 preludes are shown in one evening! And of course there is a buffet in the general break.
