					| Description | 
  					1983 marks not only the tenth anniversary of the Sydney Opera House but also the centenary of the death of Richard Wagner. In celebration of its decade in the Sydney Opera House, the Australian Opera is embarking on one of the most challenging ventures that can be undertaken by an opera company - the presentation of Richard Wagner's magnificent saga, "Der Ring des Nibelungen". The second and most popular work of the Ring Cycle, "Die Walkure", is an astounding musical phenomenon and a music drama of epic dimensions. From the opening storm to the fire music finale, the dramatic panorama will hold audiences in its spell |
