The Companion is an essential, interdisciplinary tool for those
both familiar and unfamiliar with Wagner's Ring. It opens with a
concise introduction to both the composer and the Ring, introducing
Wagner as a cultural figure, and giving a comprehensive overview of
the work. Subsequent chapters, written by leading Wagner experts,
focus on musical topics such as 'leitmotif', and structure, and
provide a comprehensive set of character portraits, including
leading players like Wotan, Brunnhilde, and Siegfried. Further
chapters look to the mythological background of the work and the
idea of the Bayreuth Festival, as well as critical reception of the
Ring, its relationship to Nazism, and its impact on literature and
popular culture, in turn offering new approaches to interpretation
including gender, race and environmentalism. The volume ends with a
history of notable stage productions from the world premiere in
1876 to the most recent stagings in Bayreuth and elsewhere.
