Le Trouvère is an opera by Giuseppe Verdi, a French version of Il Trovatore. The story is about two brothers, separated at birth under tragic circumstances, who unknowingly become enemies. Manrico, has been raised as a troubadour, while the other, Count di Luna, grows up as a nobleman. Their rivalry leads to war, love triangles, and a tragic ending when one brother accidentally orders the execution of the other. They do not realise they are brothers until much later. Their rivalry becomes deadly, especially as both fall in love with the same woman, Leonora.

Siegfried

Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre

The Ring Cycle, Wagner’s magnum opus, continues with Die Walküre, the second epic installment in the series. The daughters of Wotan, ruler of the gods, serve as Valkyries tasked with guiding the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla. But as scandal erupts, Wotan finds himself at odds with whom he most trusts.

Die Walküre

The epic struggle between good and evil reaches its climactic conclusion in Richard Wagner’s Twilight of the Gods (Götterdämmerung), as the battle for the ring of power brings about the destruction of the gods’ world. Devoted love is torn apart by manipulation, and the final reckoning unfolds in a cataclysm of fire and water. In the operatic repertoire, few works rival the grandeur and emotional intensity of Wagner’s masterpiece. This new production of the monumental finale to the RING cycle offers operagoers an unforgettable experience when witnessed live.
