Das Rheingold (“The Rhine Gold”) is the first of the four operas that comprise Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung), by Richard Wagner. Das Rheingold was originally written as an introduction to the tripartite Ring; however, the cycle is generally regarded as composed of four individual operas. It received its premiere at the National Theatre in Munich on 22 September 1869.
