RSNO Naked Classics: Wagner's Ring
Date Location
Gigantic, preposterous, insane – Richard Wagner's four-night opera cycle Ring des Nibelungen is all these things, but it's also sumptuously beautiful and endlessly fascinating, an epic and surprisingly action-packed tale of gods, humans and destiny with some of the most astonishing music ever written. Dutch composer Henk de Vlieger has handily condensed the musical gist of it into an hour-long symphonic adventure, introduced here by Paul Rissmann and conducted by Philippe Bach.

Scottish Opera: The Flying Dutchman
Date Location
The Flying Dutchman wasn't the first opera Wagner wrote (that would be that not-very-often-performed The Fairies, if you can believe it) but it marked the moment that he broke away from the operatic conventions of his time and gained that heady touch of artistic megalomania that makes his work so riveting. Oddly enough, the first draft of it was set in Scotland before the composer decided that Norway was more Nordic. It's a wildly romantic tale of the sea, doomed love and a ghost ship…
