Strauss's Der RosenkavalierOpening Scene - Reimagined
This classic scene is epitomised by the closeness and warmth of the relationship between Octavian and the Marschallin. In this reimagined version of the scene, we ask what would it be like for them if they were separated over a distance. How would their affair continue? What challenges would they fact, and how would they retain the same sensuality and warmth? Join us on this journey, as the Marschallin and Octavian face the beginning of the end of their relationship. Sung in German with English titles. Premiered: Saturday 6th November 9pm UK |

Wagner's Götterdämmerung
|
The first scene of the final part of Wagner's epic Der Ring des Nibelungen tells the story of everything that has been, everything that is, and everything that will be. The three Norns know that Wotan has plans to end the reign of the Gods, and these plans have been in motion for as long as anyone can remember. Will this be the end for the Norns as well?
