Wagner: Siegfried [Video]

The Palau de les Arts mounted this production of Richard Wagner's 1876 +Siegfried (the penultimate installment in his massive Ring Cycle) in 2008. As directed for the stage by Roland Olbeter, with costumes by Chu Oroz, this unusual version utilizes a tremendous amount of visual fantasy, technology, lighting, and props (often though not always comprised of human actors), as well as an extensive number of 3D computer projections. It stars Lance Ryan as Siegfried, Juha Uusitalo as Der Wanderer, Franz-Josef Kapellmann as Alberich and Jennifer Wilson as Brünnhilde. The legendary Zubin Mehta conducts the Orqestra de la Comunitat Valenciana.
