Synopsis

Otto Schenk’s production captures the scenic world of Wagner’s *Ring* from the opening scene deep in the River Rhine to the magical Rainbow Bridge leading to a glistening Valhalla, as brilliantly as James Levine and the Met orchestra capture the musical world. The cast is incomparable: James Morris as the young god Wotan, Christa Ludwig as his wife Fricka, Siegfried Jerusalem as Loge, the wily god of fire, and Ekkehard Wlaschiha as Alberich.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
