Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English National Opera Guides are ideal companions to the opera. They provide stimulating introductory articles together with the complete text of each opera in English and the original. Richard Wagner s fifteen-hour operatic cycle "The Ring of the Nibelung" ends with this great music drama. Michael Tanner s essay tackles the scale and meaning not just of this work but of Wagner s whole undertaking, showing that "Gotterdammerung "is for all its length his fastest-moving drama. Composer Robin Holloway brings the focus of creative genius to his discussion of the score, while Christopher Winkle s article analyses Brunnhilde s concluding monologue. The ninety numbered musical themes of the Thematic Guide are cross-referenced to the other Ring guides."
