Our new podcast series continues in this latest episode, with a fascinating discussion about the roles and mythical origins of the women in Wagner's Ring cycle.

Writer and librettist Sophie Rashbrook chats to the historian Eleanor Rosamund Barraclough and soprano Lee Bisset, who was set to have been our Brünnhilde in the 2020 season.

Thanks to Stuart Essenhigh on trumpet in the introduction. For further reading, see Eleanor's list in the Guardian of top 10 books about the Vikings.
