The partnership of Boulez, Chéreau und Peduzzi put Wagner's Ring back where it belonged - at the centre of controversity. By the time it was last seen on the stage of the Festspielhaus in 1980, the production had taken its place as one of the historc achievements of the Bayreuth Festival. Working closely with video director Brian Large, Chéreau re-rehearsed his staging for the films taped at that time to recreate the experience on screen and to preserve career-defining performances from the original cast, headed by Donald McIntyre, Gwyneth Jones and Manfred Krug.
