Das Rheingold

We have some ideas for which stories could be connected to which cycles of the ring cycle.

Das Rheingold, this very much gives Stone of Glass energy.

That's just our opinion.

And then we have Dave Alcure, which is very clearly Akatar.

Wotan and Fricka take the place of Zeus and Hera.

Wagner's own strict criteria for what constitutes good opera and good drama were most perfectly realized in the first two operas of the Ring Cycle, Das Rheingold and Die Walküre.

In the subsequent parts of Siegfried and Gotterdammerung, Wagner loosened up a bit and wrote more traditional opera.

But that's not the biggest problem on the horizon.

Yeah.

The musical works are Brahms's German Requiem, Das Rheingold, Tchaikovsky's None But the Lonely Heart.

Even like in popular culture, this is the year that Thomas Henry Huxley coins the word agnostic.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton becomes the first woman to testify before Congress in the United States, and she and Susan B. Anthony form National Woman Suffrage Association.

And...

Okay, so the first one is Das Rheingold.

It is Das Rheingold.

Okay.

And then the heroine.

Not bad.

Yeah.

Das Rheingold is the Rheingold of which the ring is made.

yeah we're getting multiple povs and we're getting people that we've already obviously we've got Feyra we've got nesta and Cassian so we're getting povs we've had before then we're getting Lucien today we get Gwyn mm-hmm i'm going to assume that we're going to get as real and then we've got one other that we don't know yet and now i also wonder if they're getting more important as they're going along is that like are we starting with the least important becoming the most important i don't know but i definitely think that sarah this is sarah's grand finale she has been if you followed her pinterest she had four pinterest she had throne of glass akatar crescent city and the highlight of the gods and i think this is her pathway into twilight of the gods especially with the research we've done about the Valkyrie movements in the what was that musical piece and the fourth part being of

the yeah uh Wagner's Rheingold

yes and the fourth rain cycle in that being Twilight of the Gods so she's preparing for something big but it's also just a big story and there is so much with these characters Yes, there's the romance.

We love the romance.

That didn't really work out.

Actually, Das Rheingold and Die Walküre, the first two parts of The Ring, were performed, much to Wagner's annoyance, in Munich, and then he didn't even go.

But the whole Ring was to be performed on his terms in a very simple theater modeled on a Greek amphitheater-

Oh, well, that's interesting
