der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung) is a cycle of four epic operas by the German composer Richard Wagner (1813–1883). The works are based loosely on characters from the Norse sagas and the Nibelungnlied. The composer termed the cycle a "Bühnenfestspiel" (stage festival play), structured in three days preceded by a Voraband("ante-evening"). It is often referred to as the Ring Cycle, Wagner's Ring, or simply the Ring.
Wagner wrote the libretto and music over the course of about twenty-six years, from 1848 to 1874. The four operas that constitute the Ring cycle are, in sequence:
- Das Rheingold (The Rhine Gold)
- Die Walküre (The Valkyrie)
- Siegfried
- Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods)
Although individual operas of the sequence are sometimes performed separately, Wagner intended them to be performed in series. The first performance as a cycle opened the first Bayreuth Festival in 1876, beginning with Das Rheingold on 13 August and ending withGötterdämmerung on 17 August.
I take pride in my sales of vinyl and if the purchaser is not satisfied with sound reason I will give a full refund on receipt of the item.
