Interesting story of Rheine maidens teasing poor Alberich (Ekkehard Wlaschiha) while protecting gold that can be turned into a ring. The ring in return gives the bearer the world.
Mean while Wotan (James Morris) has had a fortress built by giants in exchange for his sister-in-law Freia. Evidently he was planning on getting out of the deal with the help of his friend Loge (Siegfried Jerusalem). So can Loge work something out and will it involve the ring?
This is the version I grew up with and have seen them when they came to town. I waited for a commercial release of this fine production. One of the added DVD extras is pictures of what now are hokum getups that the previous productions wore. Of course they were a product of their time.
Hopefully one day someone will make a movie of the story; until them this rendition has remain the best representation in costume and sound. I even have the sound recording for the car.
