The acclaimed conductor Lorin Maazel, who was also a skillful composer translated George Orwell's novel "1984" into an opera

In 1987, he condensed some of the most famous passages and orchestral episodes from Wagner's Ring Cycle, repleted with leitmotifs, into a 90-minute arrangement.

This opera without words, originally written for the Berlin Philharmonic, will surprise many and fascinate many more thanks to the spell of Wagner's ageless music.
