On a stormy night, fate brings two strangers together, unleashing a love with the power to end worlds.

The second work of Richard Wagner’s four-opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen; it follows ‘Das Rheingold’ and precedes ‘Siegfried’ and ‘Götterdämmerung’. It has become the most performed opera of the cycle, loved and admired for its nuanced and intelligent exploration of complex family entanglements.
