Photo Flash: Das Ende Takes the Stage with Supernatural Presence

In order to remove a curse on her family in Seattle, Mathilde must return a stolen manuscript at the same time that its dead author seeks it. That author is 19th-century composer Richard Wagner, intent on safeguarding his legacy. The handwritten manuscript, now worth millions, is an unknown last scene for his famous "Ring" operas. Determined to thwArt Wagner is the cunning dwarf Alberich, the villain of "The Ring," who long ago escaped his creator's grasp.
