Wotan’s prophecy of a hero who forges a mighty sword and slays the dragon Fafner comes to pass in this third installment of Wagner’s Ring cycle. When Siegfried (Pär Lindskog) confronts Wotan (Alan Held) and revives the
sleeping Brünnhilde (Iréne Theorin), he unwittingly begins the ultimate destruction of the gods. WNO Music Director Heinz Fricke, director Francesca Zambello, and a cast of opera titans bring us closer to the epic experience of the complete American Ring cycle in November 2009!
