Richard Wagner’s The Ring of the Nibelung
The Rhinegold * The Valkyrie * Siegfried * Twilight of the Gods

Themes of The Ring—including how greed and corruption can destroy both the economy and the environment—still being debated in today’s political world. This is Washington National Opera’s first complete Ring cycle and the only Ring cycle in North America in 2016.

Siegfried:

The third opera in the Ring Cycle is a coming-of-age story at heart. Raised in the wilderness, Wotan’s grandchild Siegfried sets out to escape his wicked caretaker, slay a fearsome dragon, and rescue the beautiful Brünnhilde.
