The Royal Opera House kick off their new season in ambitious style with Wagner's epic Ring cycle. The Holy Grail for opera-lovers, this is about as powerful - and as long - as opera gets.
Performed in four parts across different dates, audience members must buy tickets for the complete cycle.
Sung in German with English surtitles.
Please note: lowest prices at the ROH are usually £6 but prices have not yet been released for the winter season, check back on the website for details.
