Wagner’s Epic Ring Cycle

  • サマリー

  • Today we’re going deep in the music of Wagner - and specifically The Ring cycle, his collection of 4 monumental operas: Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried, and Götterdämmerung


    Even if you haven’t seen these live, you’re probably aware that these are absolute behemoths of the opera house - with heroism, love, death, gigantic orchestras and big tunes that need big voices. Bass Brindley Sherratt is tackling the role of Hagen in Götterdämmerung, and he explains how memory, text and costume are just some of the challenges he grapples with.


    Wagner wrote some stunning brass parts, and trombonist Dave Whitehouse explains the novelty of playing the bass trumpet in Götterdämmerung, and violinist Fiona Higham explains how to crack the string player’s code when tackling Wagner’s music.


    Plus, how lifting weights can be a great training programme for a 6 hour opera.


    Produced by Tandem Productions for the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
