Book synopsis

Excerpt from Das Rheingold (the Rhinegold): A Music-Drama in Four Scenes; Prelude to the Trilogy "Der Ring Des Nibelungen" (The Nibelung's Ring) Greenish twilight, lighter above, darker below. The upper part of the scene is filled with moving water, which żows restlessly from R. To L. Towards the bottom, the water resolves itself into a fine mist, so that a space rising from the bottom of the river to a man's height seems free from the water which żows like a train of clouds over the gloomy depths. Every where steep points of rock jut up from the depths, and form as it were a framework for the stage. The bottom is broken up into a wild chaos of jagged rock, so that no part of it is level. On all sides darker spots suggest deeper fissures. Round a rock in the centre of the stage, whence its peak rises high in the lighter water, one of the rhine daughters is seen swimming merrily.
