Wagner’s colossal four-opera cycle Der Ring Des Nibelungen brought German Romantic opera to its consummation.

Now the Mariinsky Ring cycle receives its premiere at the Royal Opera House, giving London audiences the opportunity to witness at first hand the brilliance of its thrilling conception, drawing on primordial Russian, Caucasian and Scythian folk mythology.
