Continuing the Ring and Parsifal in 2007/2008, Der fliegende Holländer and Lohengrin in 2008/2009 and Tristan und Isolde in 2009/2010, The Royal Opera will stage a Wagner production each Season, culminating in a revival of the Ring in 2012.
The magnitude of this project and interest in Wagner’s work is such that ROH has created a special group to support these productions.
The Wagner Circle brings together like-minded people for interesting and insightful evenings that provide a deeper knowledge and understanding of Wagner, his operas and their portrayal at the Royal Opera House.
