Götterdämmerung Matted Print (11" x 14”)
Exclusive to the Met Opera Shop, our Götterdämmerung matted print
features a dramatic scene from the Metropolitan Opera’s critically acclaimed production of Richard Wagner’s Götterdämmerung.
Digitally reproduced in vivid colors, this exquisite horizontal print comes in a white mat 14” wide x 11” high and is covered in removable poly/plastic for protection. Can be framed or hung on a wall as is.
In Götterdämmerung, the ring of the stolen Rhinegold continues to rule the destinies of humans, including Alberich’s own son Hagen. Only Brünnhilde, once a warrior goddess and now Siegfried’s mortal wife, has the perspective and wisdom to grasp the full significance of the situation. Her journey toward the ultimate sacrifice that will absolve heaven and earth from its primal corruption is the great drama of this opera.
An ideal gift for fans of opera, the Ring and the Met.

History
Götterdämmerung
Götterdämmerung composed between 1869-1874, is Richard Wagner’s grand finale of the Ring Cycle. The four operas in the series include Das Rheingold (The Rhinegold), Die Walküre (The Valkyrie), Siegfried and Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods).
A culmination of the dramatic and musical ideas set forth in the previous three works of the Ring is also a complete and monumental theatrical journey of its own with the saga’s complex ideas finding their full expression.
This epic drama ends in acts of betrayal, murder, vengeance and finally, the destruction of the world told in a complex plot.
Götterdämmerung presents a unique challenge for the lead tenor and soprano, performing a cathartic 15-minute narrative by Brünnhilde that is among the longest and most powerful unbroken vocal solos in the operatic repertory.
The Met’s production of Götterdämmerung in its 2018–19 season featured minimal otherworldly landscapes with digital imagery to achieve a modern interpretation of the composer’s masterpiece.
It received its premiere at the Bayreuth Festspielhaus on August 17,1876 as part of the first complete performance of the Ring Cycle.
The Met’s landmark production, directed by Robert Lepage, premiered over the course of the 2010–11 and 2011–12 seasons. The DVD release of its Live in HD presentation won the 2013 Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording.
