I have this version and love it. Very well-built and detailed staging, with some really excellent singers - Loge, Alberich, Brünnhilde, Fasolt/Hunding are perfect. And it's realistically gory, although not the goryest opera performance - so far that's a (traditional!) Antony and Cleopatra for me.
@xylantrope he's the rheingold (in a modern interpretation). The actor is a footballer (I think from their national team, but now that that I'm looking for it I can't confirm that) who they asked to be in it. I don't remember his name off the top of my head though.
very original reprensitation of the actual gold in the Rhine, took me a while to discover it and it makes Alebrich's action even grosser and more horrible.
This is amazing. What a surprisingly modern and intimate Ring. Abstract enough to allow the audience to find themselves within the work, yet not so abstract as to be confusing and therefor distracting. And this is personal taste, but I love the color pallet. The beginning of the ring is often marked by a lack of vibrancy to represent the beginning of the world etc. This is disturbingly fully formed, I find myself questioning much of myself. A very very powerful opening seen to a powerful work.
It's idiotic.

I found out that the swimmer performing the Rhinegold is Danny Olsen,
now I wonder if he is the same as the Danish soccerplayer Danny Olsen.
( would be quite a careermove)

The downside is they need a new swimmer for every performance.
