In December we perform Act 3 from Wagner's opera Siegfried in concert. We are delighted to welcome back legendary bass Sir John Tomlinson to sing the role of the Wanderer, with Peter Wedd in the title role, Lee Bisset as Brünnhilde and Rozanna Madylus as Erda. This is a very special chance to hear Wagnerian singing of the most extraordinary power in the immediacy of our small venues. Siegfried, the third opera in Wagner's Ring Cycle, follows the coming of age of the hero Siegfried and in Act 3 he overcomes the Wanderer and Loge's wall of fire to reach a mountaintop on which his future lover Brünnhilde had been imprisoned in sleep. Composed after a 12-year hiatus in Wagner's work on the mammoth 15-hour Ring Cycle, the music is some of the most gripping ever written.
