Watch: Der Ring des Nibelungen for children (complete) Mariinsky Opera
This is wonderful - really! If you have children, or grandchildren, sit and watch this with them. Made freely available by Mariinsky Opera on their website. Recorded March this year I think. Alas, no subtitles - but who needs them. Youtube trailer first to see if you might like to watch and then below the full performance. I am becoming something of a fan of Mariinsky it must be said. Please share. And it's for children - don't be to critical
