The Rheingold Curse: A Germanic Saga of Greed and Revenge from the Medieval Icelandic Edda

Benjamin Bagby, voice & lyre; Agnethe Christensen & Lena Suzanne Norin, voice; Elizabeth Gavers, fiddle; Norbert Rodenkirchen, flutes & lyre

The Edda is a magically theatrical piece that travels through pre-Christian Norse stories, translating them into a mesmerizing performance that is at once provocative and surprisingly contemporary. One of the earliest Norse legends, Edda recounts the Rheingold curse: a bloody tale of revenge and seduction that also inspired Wagner’s Ring Cycle. Stunningly realized using Bagby’s original research of Icelandic folk traditions, this Medieval “feast” is sure to satisfy your vengeful cravings.
