    About This Event

    Composer-themed evenings were a distinctive and popular feature of Henry Wood’s early Proms seasons: if it was Monday, it was Wagner Night.

    We revive this tradition with a concert whose first half explores the enchanted forest (both beguiling and darkly supernatural) – a key symbol of the German Romantic movement.

    The second half presents pivotal scenes from ³Òö³Ù³Ù±ð°ù»åä³¾³¾±ð°ù³Ü²Ô²µ, the climax of Wagner’s four-opera magnum opus The Ring of the Nibelung – including Siegfried’s Death and Funeral Music and the vocal tour de force of Brünnhilde’s Immolation Scene.

    Approx. end time: 21:45
