Gods, greed, power struggles - and a string of iconic melodies and leitmotifs. Witness a true operatic feat as Helsingør Kammeropera embarks on a shortened chamber version of Wagner's monumental work ‘Der Ring des Nibelungen'.
Wagner's life's work is both admired and infamous among classical musicians and opera lovers. The German composer worked for 26 years on the Ring Cycle, which involves no less than 15 hours of music and therefore usually takes four full evenings to perform. During this year's festival, you can experience the opera about the magical Rheingold and the bloody power struggles of three generations in a completely new version.

 ‘The Ring in One Evening’ will take the audience through the epic tales of Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried and Götterdämmerung in three hours, without compromising the complexity of the plot and the musical context. The Ring Cycle has been shortened by the renowned Wagner tenor Stig Fogh Andersen in collaboration with conductor Leif Greibe, who also will be conducting. Fogh Andersen will sing the part of Mime joined by a team of Danish Wagner singers, including baritone Jens Søndergaard in the roles of Wotan and Gunther, and seven talented musicians from the Royal Danish Orchestra. The opera had its premiere in March 2023 in Helsingør, and will be performed during the Copenhagen Opera Festival at Aveny-T in Frederiksberg.

English

Guder, griskhed, magtkampe – og en perlerække af ikoniske melodier og ledemotiver. Vær vidne til en sand operatisk bedrift, når Helsingør Kammeropera begiver sig ud i at opføre Wagners monumentale værk ‘Nibelungens Ring ’i en kondenseret kammerversion.
Wagners livsværk er både beundret og berygtet blandt klassiske musikere og operaelskere, ikke mindst på grund af sin længde. Den tyske komponist arbejdede i 26 år på ringcyklussen, som løber op i hele 15 timers musik og normalt tager fire fulde aftener at opføre. Under årets festival kan du opleve operaen om det magiske Rhinguld og tre generationers blodige magtkampe i helt nye klæder.

‘Ringen på en aften’ lykkes med at føre publikum igennem de episke fortællinger om Rhinguldet, Valkyrien, Siegfried og Ragnarok i løbet af tre timer, uden at gå på kompromis med handlingens kompleksitet og den musikalske sammenhæng. Den anerkendte Wagnertenor Stig Fogh Andersen har i samarbejde med kapelmester Leif Grebe forestået beskæringen af operaerne, og derudover synger Fogh Andersen selv rollen som Mime. Med sig på scenen har han et forførende hold af danske Wagnersangere, heriblandt baryton Jens Søndergaard i rollerne som Wotan og Gunther, og syv dygtige musikere fra Det Kongelige Kapel. Operaen, der havde urpremiere i marts, bliver til lejligheden opført på Aveny-T på Frederiksberg.
