Theatre Reviews

Darkness and silence. A respectful stunned silence greeted the end of Götterdämmerung (the final opera of Wagner’s Ring cycle) at Longborough, and when a few people started to clap the House erupted with cheers and sustained applause. Although sung in the original German, the English surtitles provided an excellent, very clear translation, and I look forward enormously to Longborough’s new full Ring cycle next year, conducted by the incomparable Wagner interpreter Anthony Negus.
