About

Richard Wagner began composing the first part of his Ring-cycle, “Das Rheingold”, in Weimar. In 2008, the Nationaltheater Weimar started a new production of this unique tetralogy. The conductor is Carl St.Clair, a former student of Leonard Bernstein. With Michael Schulz’ fine and highly intelligent staging, this new “Ring” production becomes an outstanding document of contemporary opera theatre.

"The sharpness of tone and brilliance of tempo achieved by Carl St.Clair ... and his ability to conjure exhilarating and, as required, finely structured chamber sounds from a Staatskapelle that has been precisely yet flexibly rehearsed in terms of tone and articulation … are indicative of great musical intelligence and artistic energy.” - Süddeutsche Zeitung

"Michael Schulz has staged a Siegfried in which careful attention to detail and grandscale gestures are perfectly complemented by an abundance of fascinating ideas.” - Opernglas

"Carl St.Clair is adept at handling both the apocalyptic mood of the music and the translucent shimmering of the forest. A brilliant achievement." - Frankfurter Rundschau
