A superb new translation of one of the greatest nineteenth century poems: the libretto to Wagner's Ring Cycle, in a Penguin Classics hardcover designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith

The scale and grandeur of Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung has no precedent and no successor. It preoccupied Wagner for much of his adult life and revolutionized the nature of opera, the orchestra, the demands on singers and on the audience itself. The four operas--The Rhinegold, The Valkyrie, Siegfried, and Twilight of the Gods--are complete worlds, conjuring up extraordinary mythological landscapes through sound as much as staging. Wagner wrote the entire libretto before embarking on the music. Discarding the grand choruses and bravura duets central to most operas, he used the largest musical forces in the context often of only a handful of singers on stage. The words were essential: he was telling a story and making an argument in a way that required absolute attention to what was said. The libretto for The Ring lies at the heart of nineteenth century culture. It is in itself a work of power and grandeur, and it had an incalculable effect on European and specifically German culture. John Deathridge's superb new translation, with notes and a fascinating introduction, is essential for anyone who wishes to fully engage with one of the great musical experiences.

Perfect Jacket for a Custom Barbie Look!
Size: Small, Color: Bristol
I bought this Levi’s denim jacket to make a custom Barbie jacket for my daughter, and it turned out amazing! The quality is exactly what you’d expect from Levi’s - thick, durable denim that holds iron-on patches really well. It fits true to size and was the perfect blank canvas for all the fun, girly patches we added. My daughter is 6 years old and wears a XS/S in girls clothes. I got her this jacket in SMALL and it fits her well, but also leaves her room to grow. My daughter absolutely loves it and gets compliments everywhere she goes. Highly recommend for any DIY project or as a stylish staple on its own!
