Opera Australia has announced that it will be presenting Wagner’s Ring Cycle in 2020.

The company is dubbing it the “first fully digital Ring Cycle” and it will be performed in Brisbane at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre.

The production will be directed by Chen Shi-Zheng, who will incorporate Chinese mythology with the Norse Mythology of Wagner’s story to create a unique experience.

“Creating a Ring Cycle is an extraordinary adventure, it’s exhilarating, challenging, stimulating and incredibly rewarding for all those involved, whether in the audience or on the stage or behind the scenes, it’s an amazing ride for everyone,” noted Opera Australia’s Artistic Director Lyndon Terracini.” “And for Brisbane 2020 we’ve amassed an incredible team to bring this production to the stage. Not least our fantastic Director, Chen Shi-Zheng, along with a cast of the finest singers, specialists in their interpretations of Wagner’s characters, and an amazing orchestra that we have created in partnership with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra and the Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University.”

There will be three total cycles of the Ring, each taking place over the course of one week (not exactly Bayreuth style). The first will take place between Nov. 10-17 with the second coming between Nov. 19-26. Finally, audiences will experience the final four performances between Nov. 28-Dec. 5.
