Screening of The Royal Opera's production of Wagner's Götterdämmerung, directed by Barrie Kosky and conducted by Antonio Pappano, as part of The Royal Ballet & Opera Cinema Season 2026/27.
The Royal Opera brings Götterdämmerung to Storyhouse Cinema on Wednesday 3 February, part of the Royal Ballet & Opera Cinema Season 2026/27. It's the final instalment of Richard Wagner's epic opera cycle, and this screening puts the production on the big screen here in Chester.
Barrie Kosky directs, with Antonio Pappano conducting the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and the Royal Opera Chorus. The cast is led by Elisabet Strid as Brünnhilde, Andreas Schager as Siegfried, and Mika Kares as Hagen. Kosky sets the apocalyptic drama in a contemporary world of dream-like turmoil, and the performance is sung in German with English subtitles.
