Gotterdammerung By Richard Wagner
Directed by Richard Jones , the Royal Opera's new Ring cycle for the 90s - the most talked-about production in recent British operatic history - reaches its climax. Siegfried and Brunnhilde's love struggles to survive the corruption of the human world and the machinations of the evil
Hagen, the half-human son of the Nibelung dwarf
Alberich. Siegfried's murder and Brunnhilde's culminatory self-immolation lead inexorably to "the twilight of the Gods".
Introduced by Piers Burton -Page.
Chorus and Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, conductor Bernard Haitink
In association with the Royal Opera House Trust and the Friends of Covent Garden
4.00 Act 1
