Opera in three acts (1857)

New Production! Raised by a scheming dwarf and unaware of his true family origins, a young man embarks on an epic journey. Soon, destiny brings him face-to-face with a shattered sword, a fearsome dragon and the cursed ring it guards, and a Valkyrie forced into enchanted slumber... Moments of transcendent beauty and heroic triumph sparkle in the third chapter of Wagners Ring cycle, brought to life under Barrie Koskys inspired eye following his spectacular Das Rheingold (2023) and Die Walkre (2025). Andreas Schager, in his much-anticipated debut with The Royal Opera, stars as Siegfried, alongside Christopher Maltmans towering Wanderer, Peter Hoares treacherous Mime and Elisabet Strids radiant Brnnhilde. Antonio Pappano conducts, drawing out the unspoken tensions and ethereal mysticism of Wagners dynamic score.
