Work: Der Ring des Nibelungen

This February, Regents Opera stages Wagner’s complete Ring cycle at London’s York Hall. Soprano Catharine Woodward talks about embodying one of the most iconic characters in all opera: Brünnhilde.

The conductor speaks about his Ring cycle at La Monnaie, his parallel careers in Belgium, France and Germany, and trying to keep his feet on the ground while gazing at the summits.

The first director of Asian descent to stage Der Ring des Nibelungen in its entirety talks about his refusal to follow existing formulas in this new production for Opera Australia.
