Divided by instruments, the musicians prepare themselves for the rehearsal of "Das Rheingold."

"The Rhine Gold is an opera about Germanic and Scandinavian myths Hellenized by Richard Wagner's passion for ancient tragedy (the greek tragedy 're-read' in romantic German of 19th century), therefore, it is a history about gods and goddesses immersed in never ending desires, as they are desires of immortal beings. Several times death is a blessing as we precisely turn to stone, and the stone doesn't have desires. The gods don't have the mortals luxury, and if they had, they would be terrified like us." (Pondé)
