Over 1500 Men And Women Strip Naked To Celebrate 2012 Munich Opera Festival

Hundreds of naked volunteers celebrated the beginning of the 2012 Munich Opera Festival by recreating scenes from Richard Wagner’s opera ‘Der Ring des Nibelungen’ in several locations around Munich.

Some were bold in gold and others looked REDdy for anything.


They stripped for artist Spencer Tunick for his creation — called The Ring.


For his latest creation the 45-year-old filled the German city's Max-Joseph Platz with 1,700 nude volunteers, bringing to life his interpretation of scenes from Richard Wagner's opera Der Ring des Nibelungen.
