The 1976 Bayreuth Centenary Ring

The opera production sent ripples through art and society even before the curtain was lifted. Leaflets were distributed, signatures were collected and musicians left the orchestra pit in disgust, all because of disagreements over the bold new interpretation of Wagner’s Ring Cycle. After Ingmar Bergman had turned down the invitation, the festival hired the rather inexperienced 31-year-old television and film director Patrice Chéreau. His submitted concept had fit on a single typewritten page. The film recounts how one of the greatest scandals in opera went on to become one of the greatest musical moments of all.
