Wagner’s The Ring Cycle – a 15-hour, four-part opera – inspires a cultish devotion in its fans. A passionate, vigorous dramatisation of Norse myths, it is as family-dysfunctional as Greek tragedy, as bloody as Tarantino, and as steeped in saga as Tolkien. There are apocalyptic superheroes, greedy gods and disastrous desires. And the music delivers a sensory rush as addictive as the story it tells.

Find out what all the fuss is about from a fabulous line-up of unlikely Wagner fans. They’ll tell why The Ring Cycle inspires such grand passion, from their own enchanted perspectives. Host Julia Zemiro will be joined by Neil Armfield, Robyn Archer, Maggie Beer and Peter Rose.

Part of the Melbourne Ring Festival presented by Opera Australia and the City of Melbourne.
