EVENT CINEMA | The Royal Opera SIEGFRIED (Encore)

Raised by a scheming dwarf and unaware of his true family origins, a young man embarks on an epic journey. Soon, destiny brings him face-to-face with a shattered sword, a fearsome dragon and the cursed ring it guards, and a Valkyrie forced into enchanted slumber... Moments of transcendent beauty and heroic triumph sparkle in the third chapter of Wagner's Ring cycle, brought to life under Barrie Kosky's inspired eye following his spectacular Das Rheingold (2023) and Die Walküre (2025). Andreas Schager, in his much-anticipated debut with The Royal Opera, stars as Siegfried's titular hero, alongside Christopher Maltman's towering Wanderer, Peter Hoare's treacherous Mime and Elisabet Strid's radiant Brünnhilde. Antonio Pappano conducts, drawing out the unspoken tensions and ethereal mysticism of Wagner's dynamic score. We are thrilled to partner with Absolute Classics to present the Royal Opera & Metropolitan Opera Cinema Season. This collaboration brings filmed live performances from the Royal Opera House— featuring the world's top operatic stars—directly to Dumfries and Galloway. Experience the drama and artistry of world-class opera on the big screen, right in your local community.
