Summary
From the gorgeous scene deep in the river Rhine that opens the opera, up to the magic Rainbow Bridge that appears at the end, leading to a glistening Valhalla, Otto Schenk's production captures the scenic world of Wagner's Ring as brilliantly as James Levine and the Met orchestra capture the musical world. The cast is incomporable: an astounding James Morris as the young god Wotan, the great Christa Ludwig as his wife Fricka, incandescent Siegfried Jerusalem as Loge, the wily god of fire, and Ekkehard Wlaschiha as a complex Alberich.

Vorspiel
Weia! Waga! Woge, du Welle!
Lugt, Schwestern! Die Weckerin lacht
Der Welt Erbe gewänn' ich zu eigen durch dich?
Wotan! Gemahl! Erwache!
Vollendet das ewige Werk!
Nur Wonne schafft dir, was mich erschreckt?
Sanft schloss Schlaf dein Aug'
Endlich Loge!
Jetzthör' Störrischer!
Um den gleissenden Tand
Hör', Wotan, der Harrenden Wort!
Über Stock und Stein zu Tal
Wotan, Gemahl! unsel'ger Mann!
Hehe! Hehe! Hieher! Hieher!
Nibelheim hier
Was wollt ihr hier?
Auf wonnigen Höhn
Riesenwurm winde sich ringelnd!
Luge du her!
Da, Vetter, sitze du fest!
Gezahlt hab' ich: nun lasst mich ziehn!
Bin ich nun frei?
Faslot und Fafner nahen von fern
Freia, die schöne, schau' ich nicht mehr
Weiche, Wotan! weiche!
Halt, du Gieriger!
Schwüles Gedünst schwebt in der Luft
Abendlich strahlt der Sonne Auge
Ihrem Ende eilen sie zu
Rheingold! Rheingold! Reines Gold!
