“Magical” (de Volkskrant), “mythical” (Trouw), “a triumph” (NRC): the concert performance cycle of Der Ring des Nibelungen with conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin can only be described in superlatives. Like a Netflix series, the Ring immerses us in a tale of greed and heroism. The title hero in Siegfried slays a dragon, yet finds himself defenceless when he encounters true love—an ecstasy in which Wagner surpasses even himself.
