An undertaking as massive as any in the annals of Western Civilization Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelugen represents a supreme artistic achievement: the fusion of poetry, music, visual art, movement and drama creating the composers vision for a 'total artwork'. Now, Wagner's Ring Cycle clocks in at about 15 hours of music over four nights - a rewarding but time-consuming commitment. Inspired by Norse mythology, the operas tell the story of the monumental struggle for the famous Ring by men, gods and other mythological beings culminating in cataclysm. Luckily the Sheffield Symphony Orchestra has picked some of the operas' most compelling orchestral music spanning the vast story of the cycle all to be delivered in one epic night. Kicking off proceedings we are pleased to welcome up-and-coming cellist, 16-year-old Eliza Carew to play Saint-Saens' impassioned cello concerto.
