Has anyone seen The Ring Cycle

I saw a cinema view of The Valkyrie on Wednesday night. It was beamed live from Covent Garden.

Very good!

I take it the full four operas of the complete story are being perfomed?

I have not seen it, but have heard the entire Ring twice in weekly performances, once in full opera the other in concert format; broadcast on BBC Radio Three.

@ArishMell It was on TV in 1982. One act each week, introduced by Humphrey Burton. I picked it up in Act Three of the Valkyrie. And I’ve waited 43 years to see Acts one and two, this time beamed in to a local cinema

Years ago at the Metropolitan Opera.

@RedBaron Was it any good.

I’ve watched parts of different productions over 43 years. Until Wednesday, I was missing the first two Acts of Valkyrie. Though I have seen Gurterdamerung twice.

Straylight · 31-35, F

Erich Leinsdorf's recording of Die Walkure is the greatest.
