Royal Ballet & Opera: Götterdämmerung

An earth in ruin. The twilight of the Gods.
Deception leads to treachery, then devastation, when Siegfried is tricked into betraying Brnnhilde. Learning the truth of her beloveds innocence, Brnnhilde at last returns the ring to the Rhinemaidens, before ordering that Valhalla be swallowed in flames. For the long-awaited finale of Wagners epic saga, director Barrie Kosky situates the rich apocalyptic drama in a contemporary world of dream-like turmoil. Antonio Pappano, Conductor Laureate of The Royal Opera, returns to take on the impassioned, otherworldly music including Siegfrieds transporting Funeral March and Brnnhildes electrifying Immolation Scene. The brilliant cast is led by Elisabet Strid, Andreas Schager and Mika Kares, who together with the full forces of the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and the Royal Opera Chorus bring operas greatest journey to its shattering end
