Summary
Robert Lepage's landmark staging of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen, unveiled over the course of the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons, was the first new Met production of the complete cycle in more than 20 years. Combining state-of-the-art technology with traditional storytelling, it brings Wagner's vision into the 21st century. In this first part of the epic, the theft of the Rhinegold treasure sets in motion the course of events that will change the world and end the rule of the gods. Met Music Director James Levine conducts a cast of some of the greatest Wagnerian singers of our time, including Bryn Terfel as Wotan, Stephanie Blythe as Fricka, and Eric Owens as Alberich.

Vorspiel
Weia! Waga! Woge, du Welle!
Garstig, glatter, glitschriger Glimmer!
Lugt, Schwestern! Die Weckerin lacht in den Grund
Der Welt Erbe gewänn ich zu eigen durch dich?
Wotan, Gemahl, erwache!
Hilf mir, Schwester!
Sanft schloss Schlaf dein Aug'
Zu mir, Freia! Meide sie, Frecher!
Endlich Loge! Eiltest du so
Immer ist Undank Loges Lohn!
Des Reifes zu walten
Hör, Wotan, der Harrenden Wort!
Was sinnt nun Wotan so wild?
Auf, Loge, hinab mit mir!
Hehe! Hieher! Tückischer Zwerg!
Nibelheim hier
Nehmt euch in Acht! Alberich naht
Die in linder Lüfte When da oben ihr lebt
Riesenwurm winde sich ringelnd!
Da, Vetter, sitze du fest!
Gezahlt hab ich, nun lass mich ziehn!
Bin ich nun frei? Wirklich frei?
Lauschtest du seinem Liebgruß
Gepflanzt sind die Pfähle nach Pfandes Maß
Weiche, Wotan! weiche!
Hört, ihr Riesen!
Halt, du Gieriger! Gönne mir auch was!
Heda! Heda! Hedo! Zu mir, du Gedüft!
Abendlich strahlt der Sonne Auge
Rheingold! Rheingold! Reines Gold!
