As a deadly storm rages through the forest, two desperate people find shelter. But higher powers watch and judge, and Siegmund and Sieglinde’s forbidden love will have consequences on a cosmic scale. A brother finds a sister, a father betrays his son and a goddess discovers her own humanity: the second part of Wagner’s Ring Cycle contains some of the most overwhelmingly emotional music in all opera. It’s an ideal entry-point into Wagner’s epic world. Evgeny Nikitin and Stuart Skelton head a stellar cast.
Please note this performance lasts 5 hours 15 minutes including one 30-minute interval and one 60-minute interval.
Generously supported by members of the Orchestra’s Ring Cycle Syndicate.
