The 2024 Longborough Ring

Der Ring des Nibelungen (known as the Ring cycle) is a story of gods, giants and heroes, and their struggles for power. Wagner’s cycle is the most epic of tales, a monumental work of art with a score that is searing, desperate and sublime.

All productions in the 2024 cycle were created especially for Longborough by Amy Lane, Artistic Director of Copenhagen Opera Festival, and Longborough’s Music Director and eminent Wagnerian Anthony Negus.

Longborough has long been celebrated for its performances of Richard Wagner’s work. In Wagner’s bicentenary year of 2013 we were the only UK company to host a fully-staged cycle, described by The Times as “one of the summer’s most remarkable cultural achievements”.

Don't miss your chance to experience the 2024 Ring cycle on the big screen. 

In May 2025 we will be screening the full cycle, on the opening week of the 2025 festival. The screenings of Wagner's epic Der Ring des Nibelungen take place around the opening performances of Wahnfried, which was first premiered alongside the Karlsruhe Ring. Take in the complete Ring and the UK premiere of the astounding Wahnfried in a single week to full immerse yourself in the world of the Wagner family.

All screenings take place at Cidermill Theatre in Chipping Campden.

The 2024 Ring was presented in three cycles:
