Synopsis

The climax of Wagner’s four-part *Ring* cycle is presented in the Otto Schenk/Günther Schneider-Siemssen production, conducted by James Levine. The Metropolitan Opera orchestra, chorus, and an all-star cast contribute to a *Götterdämmerung* that meets the work’s grand scale. Hildegard Behrens portrays Brünnhilde, delivering a performance described as unforgettable, while Matti Salminen offers a commanding and richly sung Hagen. Siegfried Jerusalem plays Siegfried, whose unawareness of the betrayal unfolding around him becomes apparent too late. Christa Ludwig appears as Waltraute, and Ekkehard Wlaschiha takes on the role of 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.
