Description:

Thomas Stewart brings vocal confidence and gravitas to the part of Wotan without compromising the conversational quality of Wagner's prose. His performance is grounded and intelligent, shaping the role with authority and clarity.

Janis Martin is an alluring and youthful Fricka, adding a fresh dynamic to the domestic tension between the gods. Karl Ridderbusch and Bengt Rundgren make an imposing pair of giants. A young René Kollo gets an early break in the role of Froh, hinting at the prominent Wagnerian career that would follow.
