Zambello's Die Walküre engages and excites in this promising Ring cycle. 

Wagner’s Flying Dutchman with high calibre singing, a magnificent orchestra and innovative 3D effects gets a short yet successful season in Melbourne.

Seattle Opera’s Siegfried takes place in familiar territory. Mime lives in the part of the forest where the gods roamed in Das Rheingold, and the dragon has made its lair where Hunding and Siegmund fought in Die Walküre (there’s even a bloodstain on the rock, which the Wanderer touches regretfully).
