Immerse yourself in the music of two works based on Norse mythology.
The Ring of the Nibelung / Wagner
Symphony No. 1 "The Lord of the Rings" /. Johann de Mey
Tolkien, the author of "The Lord of the Rings," was both a writer and linguist with a deep knowledge of Norse mythology. While his works are heavily influenced by several European mythological traditions, it is said that his study of the Old English epic poem "Beowulf," which is based on Norse mythology, had a decisive influence on the worldview of "The Lord of the Rings.
Similarly, Wagner's "Ring of the Nibelung" was also inspired by Norse mythology, and the story of the hero Sigurds was conceived as "The Death of Siegfried," which gradually developed into its present form.
Another common theme of both works is that of the enchanted ring, which is both powerful and destructive.
We hope you will come to the concert and experience what kind of common worldview you will find in the music of Wagner and Johann de Mey based on "The Ring".
