Encore screening of Wagner's Götterdämmerung, directed by Barrie Kosky and conducted by Antonio Pappano with the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and the Royal Opera Chorus.
MK Gallery is screening Götterdämmerung on Sunday 7 February, the long-awaited finale of Wagner's epic Ring cycle. It's an encore screening, so the production comes to Milton Keynes rather than you heading to the opera house for it. The whole thing runs 350 minutes in German, so it's a proper afternoon in the cinema, not a quick stop.
Director Barrie Kosky has moved the apocalyptic drama into a contemporary world of dream-like turmoil, and Conductor Laureate of The Royal Opera Antonio Pappano leads the music with the full forces of the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and the Royal Opera Chorus. The cast is led by Elisabet Strid, Andreas Schager and Mika Kares. Among the highlights are some of the cycle's most famous moments, including Siegfried's transporting Funeral March and Brünnhilde's electrifying Immolation Scene.

It's a massive production to see on screen, and since it's the finale of the Ring, it brings the whole cycle to a close. The screening starts at 2.00pm at MK Gallery, with tickets ranging from free to £19. It's currently sold out.
