"Siegfried" 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.

ToscaTosca 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.

Puccini’s score is one of his best, and tells of the doomed love affair between a young Japanese geisha girl and the American naval officer Pinkerton, whose thoughtless toying with her affections breaks her heart. When Butterfly’s unwavering belief that her love will return is finally dashed, the opera moves to its powerful and tragic conclusion.
