Wagner’s The Ring of the Nibelung, is a cycle of four major operas made up of The Rhinegold, The Valkyrie, Siegfried and The Twilight of the Gods. Wagner originally intended each drama to be viewed in succession but opera lovers can catch any one of the four performances which are being played out on individual nights. The second cycle of operas will begin on 21st September.
Opera fans staying in hotels Shanghai will be making their way to The Shanghai Grand Theatre to catch the performances.
