Norwegian director Stefan Herheim and Scottish conductor Donald Runnicles are in charge of the new Deutsche Oper Berlin Ring Cycle, which debuted in November and goes into the third and final cycle of the season Jan. 4, 5, 7 and 9. The production gives the story a contemporary mindset and promises a video release in the spring. Seen here – Andrew Harris as Fasolt, enamored of Freia (Jacquelyn Stucker) in Part 1 of the cycle.
