"Die Walkure" is part of Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen" -- a four opera cycle which the Royal Opera House will be staging in full during September/October 2012.

Woton is a morally compromised god, and ensnares himself in a series of crimes from which he is unable to escape. A young hero and a defiant valkyrie manage to restore the world order, but at what cost?

Visually spectacular and emotionally overwhelming, the full Ring cycle is as intense as opera gets. Wild forces of nature rage around the stage, and the gods, giants, dragons and dwarfs of ancient myths provide the characters.

The Royal Opera House is one of the world’s great opera houses. The Grade I listed building seats 2,256 people and has four tiers of boxes and balconies. It is home to two of Britain’s foremost classical companies – the Royal Ballet and Royal Opera.

Tosca at Royal Opera House – 9th, 12th, 15th, 18th and 20th July 2013
The Royal Opera House is putting on a production of Puccini’s “Tosca”, a fast-moving sexual thriller set in Rome at the same time as Napoleon’s invasion of Italy. When Mario Cavaradossi agrees to aid an escaping fugitive, he sets off a disasterous chain of events that links him, his lover Floria Tosca, and the evil Chief of Police, Scarpia. 

And here are some more operas…

 

Puccini’s “La Boheme” — London Coliseum – 7th, 12th, 15th, 19th, 22nd and 29th June 2013
“La Boheme” follows the story of two couples: the poet Rodolfo, who falls in love with pretty seamstress Mimi, and the painter Marcello, who enjoys the company of an on-off mistress Musetta. The opera’s exploration of the joy, anguish and heartbreak of young love, and its succession of passionate arias and duets, makes this the ultimate romantic opera.
