With Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods), Chief Conductor Simone Young draws our Ring Cycle to a thunderous finale after four epic years
In this stunning conclusion to his magnum opus, Wagner exposes the folly of the gods as the consequences of all their actions come crashing down upon them.
This is a work of stunning scale and impact that takes performers and audience alike to the extremes of the human experience. Buzzing with melancholy, Siegfried’s funeral march is atmospheric, while the climax of Brünnhilde’s final fiery moments swirl around you like the wind.
A trailblazer in the international opera world, Young made history in 2024 as the first woman and first Australian to conduct the Ring Cycle at the Bayreuth Festival, held in the theatre Wagner built specifically to stage his works.
Celebrated as a leading interpreter of Wagner’s music, Young leads an extraordinary cast of world-class singers, including Anja Kampe as Brünnhilde, alongside the full might of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
Do not miss the devastating final chapter of this extraordinary tale.
