Wagner’s four-opera cycle, Der Ring des Nibelungen, is one of the greatest creative accomplishments of humanity. Written over a period of 26 years, The Ring is an epic journey that takes us from the birth of the world to the destruction of the Gods and the heralding of a new world order. Continuing Music Director Eun Sun Kim’s exploration of the works of Wagner, and in Francesca Zambello’s highly acclaimed production, The Ring is an artistic experience like none other. San Francisco Opera looks forward to welcoming you to experience one of three cycles of The Ring in June 2028.
