Synopsis

This second opera in Wagner’s *Ring* cycle is part of the visually striking production by Otto Schenk and Günther Schneider-Siemssen. Hildegard Behrens portrays Brünnhilde, the god Wotan’s favored daughter, who ultimately rebels against him; Wotan is sung by James Morris in a performance widely regarded as legendary. Christa Ludwig appears as Fricka, Jessye Norman and Gary Lakes as Sieglinde and Siegmund, and Kurt Moll as the menacing Hunding. James Levine conducts the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, delivering rich color and dramatic intensity. The performance took place on April 8, 1989.

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.
