The Inspection of a Century: Wagner’s Ring in Kassel
September 11, 2010 - 8:00 am
Michael Leinert’s “Ring”, produced within two seasons (1997–1999), continued this specific Kassel dramaturgy of presenting the “Ring” from a modern point of view. Leinert’s interpretation of the “Ring” represented “one hundred years of German history”.
Wagnerian soprano Susan Owen-Leinert (Brünnhilde) presents together with her husband an insightful look at this exciting Ring production of Staatstheater Kassel with numerous video and audio excerpts.
