ever written, directly inspiring The Lord of the Rings and
many other fantasy and sci-fi classics. Join Gods and
Monsters Theatre as they bring an extraordinary story of
gods, giants, nymphs, dwarfs and human characters to life,
revealing how mortals and immortals fall under the spell of
a powerful ring, possession of which brings the chaos and
glory of absolute power. The story unfolds over four hours
interspersed with generous intervals and builds into an
unforgettable, family-friendly evening of mythical romance,
comedy and drama. Catch them on different nights or see them
all in one epic visit. This is a unique opportunity for
everyone, from opera buffs to fantasy fans alike, to gain
fresh insight into Wagner's extraordinary chronicle by
encountering The Ring Cycle operas performed as plays.
