The curse of the ring runs its course in the final chapter of Wagner's epic music drama. The Twilight of the Gods begins with the rapturous love shared by Brünnhilde (Linda Watson) and Siegfried (John Treleaven). But the evil Hagen (Eric Halfvarson) plots against Siegfried, first administering a magic potion of forgetfulness and then murdering him. Making the ultimate sacrifice, Brünnhilde heroically cleanses the ring of its curse, and the reign of the gods comes to an end in a spectacular finale unparalleled in opera.

Opera Today has commented that "LA Opera Music Director conductor James Conlon, who mastered Wagner during his years in Cologne and Paris, drew superb playing from the LA Opera Orchestra…a thrill a minute!" The Sunday Times (London) called his Wagner conducting "luminous, viscerally exciting!"

You'll be swept away on an incredible adventure: from the opening Prologue drenched in doom to "Dawn and Rhine Journey" to "Siegfried's Funeral March" culminating in the dramatic climax of the final apocalyptic "Immolation Scene." This celebration of the human spirit soars to heights of heroism and proclaims the redemptive power of love.
