Received a nomination for Best New Opera Production at the Olivier Awards 2024
As part of the English National Opera’s 2022/23 season, THE RHINEGOLD is coming to the London Coliseum for a limited time only.
Olivier Award-winning director Richard Jones returns from 2021’s ‘powerful’ (Evening Standard) production of The Valkyrie in ENO’s ongoing Ring Cycle, performing all four epics as part of a five-year collaboration bringing Wagner’s magnum opus to the London Coliseum.
ENO Music Director Martyn Brabbins channels Wagner’s tempestuous score in conducting the ENO Orchestra. Wotan, played by John Relyea, is accompanied by Frederick Ballentine (Loge), former Harewood Artist Madeleine Shaw (Fricka), Christine Rice (Erda), Leigh Melrose (Alberich) and James Cresswell (Fafner), amongst others.

Greedy. Jealous. Lustful. The gods are all-too-human.
When the forging of a prophesied ring of the Rhine proves more problematic than you’d possibly think, the realms of gods and men prove all the more chaotic for it. Giants, dwarfs, nymphs and deities quarrel and clash, with the fate of the nine worlds in the balance.
