Awards:

Liceu Barcelona Opera Web Award

Der Ring was the winning microsite at “Opera – Web”, a competition created and supported by the Liceu Opera House of Barcelona and the Telefónica Chair of the University Pompeu Fabra to award an online site about an opera and its context. “The Ring” is a website about Wagner and his famous tetralogy “The Ring of the Nibelung”.The site is constructed around the concept of fate and apocalypse. The post – industrial imagery and animated navigation references many of the symbols of these Operas, like the threads of destiny or the construction of Valhalla. Apart from the main content, users have access to alternative visual experiences with abstract videos and images representing the leitmotivs as well as direct storytelling from some of the characters. The website was awarded with the first prize.
