Götterdämmerung - Richard Wagner

Experience the epic conclusion of Wagner's Nibelungen Tetralogy at the Vienna State Opera! In “Twilight of the Gods“ Siegfried goes out into the world, gets caught up in Hagen's intrigues and is murdered by him. As he dies, he remembers his love for Brünnhilde. Finally, Brünnhilde manages to cleanse the ring of the curse before the Rhine recovers it. The castle of the gods, Valhalla, goes up in flames, and the people experience the downfall of the gods with extreme emotion.

Sven-Eric Bechtolf's production wraps the Ring story in a timeless world that serves as a model of our existence. Without concrete contemporary interpretations, but with deep associative references, this production touches on the big questions of our time. Experience the fascinating music that has matured through the long history of the tetralogy and is dramaturgically linked to the inherent historicity of the Ring narrative.

Secure your tickets and immerse yourself in an unforgettable opera experience that will touch you deeply and resonate for a long time.
