Wagner: The Copenhagen Ring (2006)

Seven-DVD set of Wagner's gargantuan Ring Cycle - the celebrated, critically-acclaimed production at the Royal Danish Opera, come to be known as the Copenhagen Ring. Striking, memorable and controversial staging by Kasper Bech Holten. The action, experienced as an extended flashback, presents Wagner's epic as a family saga from a feminist perspective. The production is visually stunning, disturbing and at times explicit.
