Staatsoper Unter den Linden on Instagram: "Christian Thielemann opened the first Ring cycle at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden with a spectacular performance of Rheingold! Under his baton, the Staatskapelle Berlin ignited an orchestral fireworks display that made Wagner's score glow in brilliant colors. The ensemble of singers and the orchestra presented themselves as a unified whole at an absolutely world-class level—a start that raises high expectations for the evenings to come. Bravo Michael
