The Ring Cycle in Concert 

Wagner’s Ring Cycle is one of the great achievements in Western art. And at its beating heart – packed with passion, violence, rage, betrayal and tragedy – sits the vast and sprawling legend of Siegfried.

Starring a world-class cast of singers, including internationally acclaimed Simon O’Neill in the title role, this third instalment in the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s Ring Cycle in concert is a once-in a-generation event. 
Whether you’re continuing the cycle or this is your first experience, Siegfried stands alone as a complete story that demands to be experienced live. An archetypal hero’s journey, this is a true epic, with every element of the human experience heightened and transposed into art. 

Chief Conductor Simone Young is one of the world’s greatest interpreters of Wagner, renowned for her precision and emotional depth, and is the first Australian conductor to ever lead a Ring Cycle at the Bayreuth Festival. She drags every ounce of drama off the page and delivers it in vivid colour with supreme artistry and balance. It’s been 25 years since the Ring Cycle was performed in Sydney; Siegfried’s agonising and triumphant quest, with its visceral soundworld, makes this instalment unmissable. 

In a pure musical experience, this epic story will be presented in concert, the full weight of the drama laid bare on stage. This grand-scale adventure is like nothing else, and will leave you transformed.
