ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Henk de Vlieger is a Dutch composer and percussionist who arranged the music of Richard Wagner into highly accessible concert suites, joining the best-known orchestral sections into nearly seamless outlines of the operas’ high points. The Ring, an Orchestral Adventure, draws on the most famous music in the four-opera, 16-hour cycle, Der Ring des Nibelungen. All the greatest hits are here, including Entry of the Gods into Valhalla from Das Rheingold, Ride of the Valkyries and the Magic Fire Music from Die Walküre, Forest Murmurs and Brünnhilde’s Awakening from Siegfried, and Siegfried’s Rhine Journey and Siegfried’s Funeral Music from Götterdämmerung. Whether you’re a dedicated Wagnerite or a newcomer unfamiliar with the mythology and complex plot and characters of the Ring, the sheer brilliance and drama of these pivotal moments are sure to thrill you.
