The performances and vocals of singers such as Jill Silins interpret the philosophical plot in a grand and vivid way.
“The way I direct an opera is to bring all the elements together to form a unified perspective and create a complete atmosphere,” said Boda.

It sounds very shallow, but spread over such a large area, the weight of the water is nearly 20 tons. The six main stages will lift the pool together. Once one of the stages is out of sync, it may tilt, so this pair of mechanical operations, The safety of technical synthesis and performance execution poses a high challenge," Li Cheng said.
The performance of "Das Rheingold" lasts about 150 minutes. During the nearly 90 minutes, various stage actions will be carried out slowly and continuously. In addition to the large pool rising and falling on the ground, there will also be steel nets, rings, and up to 100 people in the air. More than 20 layers of laminated rings and other scenery. Now, the week-long staging work has begun, which takes about twice as long as a normal play. "We must ensure the safety of actors, ensure the coordination of lighting, multimedia and complex stage movements, and make risk plans to ensure nothing goes wrong," Li Cheng said.
More than a month of intense rehearsals are about to reach the much-anticipated end point. At that time, a mythical world with simple imagery and a sense of science fiction will be grandly unveiled to the audience.
