Götterdämmerung
Conductor Vladimir Jurowski and the London Philharmonic Orchestra conclude their acclaimed Ring Cycle with Götterdämmerung.
The world’s bravest hero and the world’s wisest woman have fallen in love. They don’t realise that the thread of Fate has already snapped – and when sinister forces ensnare the lovers, even the gods of Valhalla can only watch in horror as events accelerate towards a truly apocalyptic conclusion.
Svetlana Sozdateleva heads an outstanding international cast for the fourth and final instalment of Wagner’s epic opera cycle – a drama of star-crossed passion and ultimate evil; of treachery, courage and a love more powerful than the end of the world.
