Come and watch the live broadcast from the Royal Opera House. A snack will be offered at the interval.
Raised by a devious dwarf and unaware of his true origins, a young man embarks on an epic journey. He soon comes face to face with a broken sword, a fearsome dragon guarding a cursed ring and a Valkyrie plunged into a deep sleep by a spell…
Moments of pure beauty and bravery illuminate the third chapter of Wagner’s Ring cycle, under the inspired eye of Barrie Kosky, following his spectacular Rhine Gold (2023) and Valkyrie (2025). Andreas Schager, in his eagerly-awaited Royal Opera debut, stars as the main hero of Siegfried, alongside Christopher Maltman as the imposing Traveller, Peter Hoare as the treacherous Mime, and Elisabet Strid as the radiant Brünnhilde. Conductor Antonio Pappano brings out the latent tensions and ethereal mysticism of Wagner’s dynamic music.
Running time: 5h30.
Advance booking recommended at the cinema.
