DAS RHEINGOLD

‘The direction of the Opera’s managing director Plamen Kartaloff is bold with its incredible modernism – and captivates the audience.’
– Das Opernglas
‘This video is enjoyable for its great music well performed with an acceptably reduced orchestra.’
– American Record Guide
This production was recorded in 2010 at the Sofia Opera and Ballet theatre as the first title of the complete Ring cycle that we will be releasing entirely in separate titles within 2021. The theatre’s managing director Plamen Kartaloff succeeded in creating an amazing ‘Sofia Ring’ with local cast and crew, chiseling each detail with care: from singers’s vocal training to set design, lights and costumes, thus delivering a most modern and captivating rendition which was acclaimed by international press.
