Surely one of the most ambitious concerts ever mounted by BPO! 

Vlieger’s monumental adaptation of the epic Ring cyclewill whizz you from Das Rheingold to Götterdämmerung in 65 minutes, accompanied by Wagner tubas, 8 horns and multiple anvils, amongst one of the largest orchestras ever seen onstage at the Dome.

In a short but spicy first half, we open with Ligeti’s dreamy Atmosphères and Berio’s witty Folk Songs. A showstopper featuring settings from eleven countries, it’s performed by the sensational German soprano Dorothea Herbert (Glyndebourne, Deutsch Oper Berlin) and young British conductor Geoffrey Paterson (Philharmonia, BBC Symphony Orchestra).
