The Story of 'The Ring': Siegfried

The third opera in the Ring Cycle is a coming-of-age story at heart. Raised in the wilderness, Wotan's grandchild Siegfried sets out to escape his wicked caretaker, slay a fearsome dragon, and rescue the beautiful Brünnhilde.

Washington National Opera presents The Ring, a cycle of four epic operas by German composer Richard Wagner. April 30-May 22, 2016, at The Kennedy Center.

Directed by WNO Artistic Director Francesca Zambello. Conducted by Music Director Philippe Auguin.
