Cupidon
그리스 신화에 등장하는 ‘오르페우스와 에우리디케’ 이야기를 풍자와 익살을 담아 재해석한 패러디이다. 유명 음악가 오르페우스와 아름다운 에우리디케는 오랜 결혼 생활 끝에 심한 권태를 느낀다. 서로 다른 사람과 바람을 피던 것이 발각되고 부부 싸움 끝에 남편이 풀어놓은 독사에 물려 에우리디케는 죽음을 맞는다. 서로에게서 작별을 하게 되어 기뻐하지만, 여론이 등장하여 오르페우스에게 죽은 아내를 저승에서 데려오는 것이 바람직하다고 충고하고, 그는 아내를 돌려받기 위해 여정을 떠난다.
The Ring in Weimar enters its final round as a drama of hate, jealousy and betrayal. A dark e minor chord opens Richard Wagner's "Götterdämmerung" and creates a threatening atmosphere from the very first moment. The various leitmotifs and themes of the entire tetralogy are brought together in the "Götterdämmerung" to form a musical whole from which there is no escape
Barrie Kosky peers into the abyss of the human soul and tackles one of the most important Symbolist masterpieces in the operatic repertoire.

Frank Castorf’s staging of the Ring, premiered in 2013 and filmed in 2016, provoked controversy right from the beginning. For Castorf, the Rheingold of our days is oil; thus he places the first part of the tetralogy at a gas station on Route 66. Die Walküre is situated in Baku, Azerbaijan, which was seized by the Bolsheviks in 1920 for its oil, whereas Siegfried takes place in a socialist equivalent of Mount Rushmore and at Berlin’s Alexanderplatz. Götterdämmerung is set somewhere in the GDR, ending up at New York’s stock exchange. Whilst Castorf’s staging polarized, Marek Janowski’s musical reading was unanimously praised, as was the excellent cast including in this opera Iain Paterson (Wotan), Nadine Weissmann (Erda), Albert Dohmen (Alberich) and Roberto Saccà (Loge).
