Myths and Music

Widely considered the peak of operatic opulence, excess and technical excellence, Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen, AKA The Ring Cycle, is an astonishing masterwork, spread out over four sweeping epics. The thrilling conclusion to the beloved work is Gotterdammerung (The Twilight of the Gods), a high octane tale of bravery, sacrifice, treachery, destruction, and renewal which features some of the Ring Cycle's most memorable moments, both in terms of orchestration and plot.

Conducted by Andris Nelsons, Boston Symphony Orchestra perform Gotterdammerung's third act, the exhilarating climax to the legendary cycle! Witness the grandeur and tension concluding the tale of Norse heroes Siegfried and Brunnhilde, with the fate of Valhalla itself hanging in the balance.
