Das Rheingold is the first part of Wagner’s epic Ring Cycle, to be spread across four years. Our thrilling new production from Charles Edwards comes exactly 150 years after the first Bayreuth performance.

We meet many of the Ring’s main characters: Wotan, ruler of the Gods, and his wife Fricka; the slippery Loge, god of Fire; two lumbering giants, Fasolt and Fafner; and the three Rhinemaidens, playing in the river with the golden ring that will cause a whole world of trouble when the cunning dwarf Alberich steals it.

With a cast of outstanding British singers, Das Rheingold marks an important landmark in Grange Park Opera’s evolution.

The acoustic and intimacy of our five-storey opera house have been deemed exceptional for Wagner’s sound world, and emboldened by the success of Tristan, Die Walküre and Flying Dutchman, we have decided the time is ripe.

Be warned: Wagnerians are insatiable and tickets will go fast!

James will star as Froh, god of love in all performances.
