OVER. THE. MOON!
From the President & CEO
As I write to you today, I have been at Virginia Opera nearly
a year – and with this production of Das Rheingold – I will be
seeing a Virginia Opera mainstage production for the first time.
Virginia Opera’s reputation for artistic excellence was a major
reason I was so attracted to this opportunity to serve as
General Director & CEO of the company. Our young artists
did not disappoint last fall, or this spring, as they performed
safely in a variety of in-person and digital settings. Trouble in
Tahiti, presented in partnership with the Virginia Arts Festival, the Virginia Symphony
Orchestra, and the Richmond Symphony Orchestra, was a particular highlight for its
quality and innovation. But for good reason, the magnitude of these efforts was limited.
Now here we are, with Das Rheingold at Topgolf, where together we will reaffirm
the value and importance of live performance. Our creative team has outdone all
expectations and delivered an entirely new concept for operatic performance. The
artistry on display is magnificent, as was to be expected.
Knowing the reputation of Virginia Opera, and now experiencing it for myself, I have
confirmed that the artistic product of our company is incredible. As Artistic Director,
Adam Turner has a clear vision and executes it in tandem with our professional staff.
With this building block firmly in place we should look to the next evolution of
Virginia Opera – strengthening our connections to our communities and being an
opera company for all. Despite the many obstacles of the last eighteen months, we
have already forged several new, meaningful partnerships with local organizations.
With these collaborations come new prospects for programs that will expand our
ability to have an impact within the areas we serve. This important work is at the
core of attracting new audiences that reflect our entire community – ensuring a
healthy and vibrant future for our opera company.
I am so very delighted to be in Virginia, and to share with all of you the beauty and
power of opera. You are the reason we are here, and your support gives us renewed
hope for the future of the company and the artform. We indeed survived the most
challenging time for the performing arts, and I pledge that we will thrive well into our
very bright future.

WELCOME BACK!
From the Board Chair
I am delighted to welcome you to Virginia Opera’s
47th season and our first production in more than
18 months. I hope you are as excited as I am to
experience again the thrill of live performance.
Although our mainstages were dark last season,
Virginia Opera was “Stayin’ Alive” with free outdoor
performances, online content for schools, our
entertaining online “Martinis, Manhattans and
Maestros” series, and a joint Virginia Opera/Virginia
Arts Festival production of Leonard Bernstein’s first
opera, Trouble in Tahiti.
Our longtime President and CEO, Russell P. Allen, retired last fall, and I cannot
thank Russell enough for his dedication, leadership and love for Virginia Opera.
A search process led us to our new General Director and CEO, Peggy Kriha Dye,
who brings a creative vision and a track record of community collaborations to
Virginia Opera. Peggy was, herself, an opera singer with a successful 25-year
career before moving into administration, leading Opera Columbus (Ohio).
Welcome, Peggy!
We kick off this season with our first Das Rheingold, the first “music drama”
of Richard Wagner’s monumental Der Ring des Nibelungen (the “Ring Cycle”),
in a most unusual setting, and in an abbreviated version with no intermissions
– part of our cautious and deliberate COVID protocol designed to keep our
audiences, artists and musicians safe and comfortable in a public setting. It
promises to be an adventurous and memorable evening!
Finally, I want to thank each of you for your deep commitment to Virginia
Opera…our donors who so generously supported us in a most challenging
year…our subscribers who donated or rolled over their 2020-21 subscriptions…
our Emerging Artists who kept our music alive…our magnificent staff who kept
Virginia Opera running under the most difficult of circumstances…and our
wonderful Board members who provided a steady hand guiding us through this
strange year. Each of you has my heartfelt gratitude!

SYNOPSIS Das Rheingold In the depths of the Rhine, the three Rhinemaidens guard the Rhinegold, a treasure of immeasurable value. The Nibelung dwarf Alberich is dazzled by the sight of it. The girls explain that whoever wins the gold and forges it into a ring will gain power over the world, but must first renounce love. Frustrated by his unsuccessful attempts to catch one of the girls, Alberich curses love and steals the gold. Wotan, lord of the gods, is reproached by his wife Fricka: he has promised to give Freia, goddess of youth, to the giants Fasolt and Fafner in return for their building a fortress for the gods. When the giants demand their reward, Loge, the god of fire, suggests an alternative payment: the ring Alberich has forged from the Rhinegold, and his other treasures. The giants agree, and Wotan and Loge leave for the Nibelungs’ underground home. In the meantime, Alberich has enslaved the Nibelungs to work for him, forging the Tarnhelm: a magic helmet that transforms its wearer into any shape. Alberich appears and mocks the gods. Loge asks for a demonstration of the Tarnhelm and Alberich turns himself into a dragon, then into a toad, which the gods capture. Dragged to the surface, the dwarf is forced to summon the Nibelungs to heap up the gold. Wotan wrests the ring from his finger. Shattered, Alberich curses the ring: ceaseless worry and death shall be the destiny of its bearer. The giants return and agree to accept the gold. The gods have to give up even the Tarnhelm, but Wotan refuses to part with the ring. Erda, goddess of the earth, appears and warns him that possession of it will bring about the end of the gods. Wotan reluctantly gives the ring to the giants, and Alberich’s curse claims its first victim as Fafner kills his brother in a dispute over the treasure. As the voices of the Rhinemaidens are heard, lamenting the loss of their gold, the gods walk toward their new home, which Wotan names Valhalla. Adapted by Virginia Opera from www.metoperafamily.org
ARTISTIC DIRECTOR “Mark well my new poem – it contains the beginning and end of the world!” (Richard Wagner, in a letter to Franz Liszt, February 11, 1853) From the first fundamental tones of Das Rheingold’s prelude evocative of an emerging universe, to the catharsis elicited by those transcendent final measures of Götterdämmerung, Richard Wagner’s revolutionary, groundbreaking contribution to the world of theater – his monumental four-opera cycle The Ring of the Nibelung – has for generations provided audiences with an extraordinary journey into the musical-dramatic world. And Rheingold, starting with its subtle rumble of low-Eb’s, ebbing, flowing, and growing, gradually cascading into arpeggios that burst forth with the first Rhinemaiden’s siren-like call – well, it certainly does seem to capture the spirit of a world’s beginning! Wagner first embarked on crafting his prose sketch for “The Nibelung Myth” in 1848, incorporating a combination of material from Nordic and Germanic sources. Over the next two decades, much like the ebbing and flowing of the Rhine, Wagner’s sketches would continually expand and evolve into what we now recognize as a masterpiece of epic scale – three dramas and one “preliminary evening”: Das Rheingold. Initially conceived as Der Raub: Vorspiel (The Theft: Prelude), then Der Raub des Rheingoldes (The Theft of the Rhinegold), there could be no question that the ultimate catalyst of this entire saga would center around the stealing of the gold, leading to the disruption of natural order and setting off absolute chaos. No one – gods, dwarves, giants included – escapes unscathed. This watershed production of Das Rheingold at Topgolf represents our first mainstage activities since the winter of 2020, and we take our first communal steps back into the world of opera, dipping our toes in the Rhine, once again experiencing the transformative power of live, in-person singing and storytelling. And what could be a more fitting return to our stages! Originally crafted by Jonathan Dove and Sir Graham Vick for Birmingham Opera Company, this edition of Das Rheingold allows us the flexibility and ingenuity to expand how we reach our communities. Sadly, the opera director and impresario Sir Graham Vick very recently died, aged 67, from complications of Covid-19. We respectfully and gratefully acknowledge Vick’s contributions to our field, and offer our sincere condolences to the staff of Birmingham Opera Company. With these performances of Das Rheingold, I hope that you are thoroughly entertained in heart and mind, and that this return to our stages is consoling and restorative. Thank you for your continued generous support and patronage, and please enjoy today’s performance! Adam Turner Artistic Director

Michael SingletonDIRECTOR’S NOTES During our year-plus without live opera, there was no single piece of music I wanted to hear in a theater more than the overture to Das Rheingold. Critic Barry Millington describes Wagner’s composition as “the birth of the world, the act of creation itself.” What a perfect way to usher in a new kind of opera, after a dark period which changed the way we think of creation and certainly made us more grateful for the essentially human act of telling a living story all together, in person. When Adam Turner and Peggy Kriha Dye told me of their plans to produce Das Rheingold in a Topgolf, I fell in love with the idea; Wagner would have loved the epic scale of the driving range and the idea of merging his art with a futuristic-looking venue. What I didn’t count on was how resonant the theme of games and game-play would be in the libretto, where the German word “spiel” (“play” as in, play a game) features prominently. We started to think of Wotan, the chief of the Gods, as the consummate power player, who continually tries to cheat everyone around him by bending the rules of the game in order to win the Gold. The other realms are also golf-inspired; the Rhinemaidens swing and drive like shiny golf-clubs, the denizens of Nibelheim, led by Alberich, act as our grounds crew. There’s a darker element to this idea of play. The characters give up everything, including love, to win power and privilege, and what starts out as “kinderspiel” (child’s play) has deadly consequences as the characters get more serious about attaining the gold. There are so many warnings here about the destruction capitalism ushers in, but fundamentally Wagner asserts that a culture that doesn’t have the fortitude to take responsibility for its selfishness and victim-blaming is a culture doomed to repeat violence, a culture where no one wins.

ELEVATE YOUR EXPECTATIONS.“What light through
yonder window
breaks?”
Well, actually, it’s a 750-watt
spotlight equipped with an
ellipsoidal reflector.
Although we prefer working behind the scenes, Dominion
Energy is proud to support the performing arts and all the
talented and dedicated people who bring them to life on
stage. From powering the tools that help build the sets, to
ensuring the lights go up on cue, to keeping the theater cool
in the summer and warm in winter, we’re happy to play a
supporting role. In 2020 Dominion Energy and the
Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation invested nearly
$58 million in programs that help make life brighter for
the communities we serve. To learn more about how
Dominion Energy is putting our energy to work for the
arts, visit DominionEnergy.com/Foundation.You can also read
