The epic journey towards a new production of Wagner’s Ring at Longborough is nearing its end: what started in 2019 will culminate in the full cycle in 2024.

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 cycle are 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”.

Watching a whole Ring cycle takes place across a week. The 2024 Ring will be presented in three cycles:

There will also be a series of events around each Cycle, between performance days: Between the Ring. More details will be announced in the coming months.
