The ‘Sofia Ring’ realized for the first time in Bulgaria with an all-Bulgarian cast.
Richard Wagner’s extraordinary cycle of four operas, Der Ring des Nibelungen, is epic in every sense of the word. Its story revolves around the legendary quest for a magical ring that can grant power to rule the world, with gods, heroes, heroines and mythical characters becoming embroiled in a world of passionate emotions, hard-won triumphs, and the deepest of tragedies. Sofia Opera’s acclaimed productions bring Wagner’s shimmering and opulent vision to life in a spectacle that is thrilling from beginning to end in both its daring visual language and its overwhelming musical intensity.
‘The orchestral playing and the cast of native singers are a tribute to Bulgaria’s high level of musical training. Maestro Pavel Baleff leads the forces of the Sofia Opera with zeal, keeping the attention directed to the story, supported by a production that is visually eye-filling yet lucid and uncluttered.’
