“one of the most enthralling Wagner performances of recent years" The Guardian
We are delighted to announce that Radio 3 will live broadcast Opera North’s performance of Das Rheingold this Friday.
Critics are raving about the quality of the music-making and audiences loved Peter Mumford’s mesmerising dramatisation. In case you won’t be able to experience any of the three remaining performances, you can tune in to BBC Radio 3 who will broadcast the performance live from Leeds Town Hall on Friday, 1 July at 7.30pm.
