Raised by a scheming dwarf and unaware of his true family origins, a young man embarks on an epic journey. Soon, destiny brings him face-to-face with a shattered sword, a fearsome dragon and the cursed ring it guards, and a Valkyrie forced into enchanted slumber... Moments of transcendent beauty and heroic triumph sparkle in the third chapter of Wagner�s Ring cycle, brought to life under Barrie Kosky�s inspired eye following his spectacular Das Rheingold (2023) and Die Walk�re (2025). Andreas Schager, in his much-anticipated debut with The Royal Opera, stars as Siegfried�s titular hero, alongside Christopher Maltman�s towering Wanderer, Peter Hoare�s treacherous Mime and Elisabet Strid�s radiant Br�nnhilde. Antonio Pappano conducts, drawing out the unspoken tensions and ethereal mysticism of Wagner�s dynamic score. Sung in German with subtitles.
