If you ever wanted to give opera a try this might do it for you. A bargain set, the four sub operas for a mere $25, and an excellent recording. Not the best interpretation but you wouldn't know unless you were a Ring-phile.
I saw the Ring in San Francisco back in the 90's. Wonderful production, Fafnir (the dragon) was an enormous dragon skull that came out on stage. Four operas, all within one week, it was a trial I'll tell you and an experience I never forgot. Nowadays I listen to the Ring while I work. I've wanted to go to more and almost did in Stuttgart some years later, but most of the time they do "modern" productions (not period cast and sets), which is cheaper than period.
It was Lord of the Rings before Lord of the Rings, so INTP's might like it (paradoxically) as an introduction to Opera, being Epic Myth. Also Wagner invented the "Leitmotiv", which was associating musical snatches with characters. So analyzing the Opera provides lots of fun for INTP's, and NT's in general.
