LFO Ring Cycle 2013 - Dates and cast

GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG: LFO 2012

Longborough Festival Opera will be presenting what is possibly the most ambitious Ring Cycle of the bicentenary in 2013 - not one or two but three complete Cycles.

Presented in a theatre especially designed for Wagner - that lies in the middle of Cotswold -  it remains something of an unique accomplishment. Previous performances (begun in 2007) of the individual parts of the Cycle have been greeted with much enthusiasm.  Full details below and what cast information is presently available. Consistent through-out remains the Brünnhilde  of Rachel Nicholls (who will also be making her debut as Senta in Scottish opera's new production of the Dutchman in 2013) who received much praise for the part last year. The Wagnerian's interview with her can be read here,  where we have now added her performance of the Liebestod
.

Dates (2013):

Cycle 1: 16, 18, 20, 22 June;

Cycle 2: 26, 28, 30 June 2 July

Cycle 3: 6, 8, 10, 12 July
