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.

Das Rheingold: a concert perfomance full of drama

Jane Shuttleworth, 26th June

The first lesson I learnt from this evening’s stunning performance by Opera North of Das Rheingold to a completely full Hall One at the Sage is that however much you listen to Wagner's opera, absolutely nothing can prepare you for the physical and emotional impact of seeing a live performance, with the sheer power of the orchestra and the dramatic force of the music.
