For over a quarter of a century, Richard Wagner worked on his “magnum opus”, DER RING DES NIBELUNGEN (The Ring of the Nibelung): from the carefree frolics of the Rhine maidens to the apocalyptic downfall of the gods’ hall, Valhalla, this 15-hour Gesamtkunstwerk sees beginning and end merge into one.
Director Stefan Herheim tells this endless story of the rise and fall of ideas and worldviews for us, driven by a theatrical delight in performance.
In May 2026, we are presenting two cycles of the tetralogy: whilst the complete second series is sold out, tickets are still available for individual performances of the first series, which can be booked separately.
16 May: DAS RHEINGOLD
17 May: DIE WALKÜRE
23 May: SIEGFRIED
25 May: GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG
Tickets: https://trfy.eu/TkJ2B
All information on THE RING 2026: https://trfy.eu/htsH4
Under the musical direction of Sir Donald Runnicles, the cast includes Iain Paterson and Jordan Shanahan (Wotan), Annika Schlicht (Fricka), Michael Sumuel (Alberich), Matthew Newlin (Siegmund), Ya-Chung Huang (Mime), Elisabeth Teige (Sieglinde, Brünnhilde), Clay Hilley (Siegfried), Trine Møller and Catherine Foster (Brünnhilde), Albert Pesendorfer (Hagen, Fasolt) and Thomas Lehman (Gunther).
