Title: Der Rin [?]/Bühnen der Stadt Magdeburg Maxim Gorki/Richard Wagner/Das Rheingold
Organization: Maxim Gorki Theater--Performances--Germany (East)
Date Created: 1980s

Description: Poster is black with a collage of neon-colored images, including a green face with brown eyes, brighly colored butterfly, green urban architecture, red statue, gold mask, blue nude female form, and gray stone mask. "The Rhein Gold" superimposed in yellow from bottom left corner to center right. Remindant text at top in gray and white. "Der Rin" is probably the truncated title "Der Ring des Nibelungen", a series of operas of which Das Rheingold was the first of four. It is difficult to tell whether the poster was cut or meant to be displayed in a series so that the full title could be seen.
