Why you should see your first Ring in Budapest

David Karlin, 4th December

A rollicking good story woven into music by a composer without peers, the ultimate operatic expression of the High Romantic aesthetic, and an opera that actually feels short at five hours.

Prom 20: Götterdämmerung concludes a Ring for the ages

David Allen, 29th July

The world ended again last night. It ends fairly frequently in performances and in recordings, and that schedule tends to innoculate us against Richard Wagner’s political and philosophical messages. If ever there were to be a performance to transcend that, it would come at the Proms, at the conclusion of its first full performance of Der Ring des Nibelungen.
