Make two out of 16 or When puppets meet peopleThe Salzburg Marionette Theater and the neighboring Landestheater jointly faced a mammoth task: Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen" was to be shrunk, from 16 hours to a compact two. At the same time, the tetralogy was not to suffer any lack of content; on the contrary, the version was to provide a common thread through the four operas. The basic structure of the work remained untouched and was merely condensed. The production takes a contemporary look at the material. The audience should be able to find themselves in the more than 30 characters portrayed by puppets and humans. In this extremely exciting constellation, both Wagner beginners and Wagner connoisseurs can set off on a safari through the "Nibelungen Park", across a stage that serves as a visual "time tunnel". And the whole thing always with respect for Wagner's great epic.
