Opera in three acts (1870)
New Production! Prepare for a wild ride, as gods and mortals battle in the second chapter of Wagner’s Ring cycle. Conductor Antonio Pappano and director Barrie Kosky reunite to continue the mythical adventure that began with Das Rheingold in 2023.
On a stormy night, fate brings two strangers – Sieglinde (Natalya Romaniw) and Siegmund (Stanislas de Barbeyrac) together, unleashing a love with the power to end worlds. Meanwhile, in the realm of the gods, an epic battle ensues between their ruler Wotan (Christopher Maltman) and his rebellious daughter, Brünnhilde (Elisabet Strid).
ROH guidance: suitable for audiences 12+
Please note programme change: the previously billed Lise Davidsen has withdrawn from this production as she awaits the birth of twins. [updated 28/1/25]
