The Royal Opera House Presents Simon Callow One-Man Show Tonight

Simon Callow will perform a one-man show Inside Wagner's Head, inspired by the life of composer Richard Wagner, Sept. 3 at the Royal Opera House's Linbury Studio Theatre, with an official opening tonight, Sept. 6, for a run through Sept. 29.

Following the hugely successful one-man show Being Shakespeare, Olivier Award-winning actor Simon Callow presents an exploration of the life and legacy of Richard Wagner in his bicentenary year.

Wagner's life was fiercely passionate in every aspect: political exile, tempestuous love affairs, provocative writings and an astonishing operatic output that revolutionized the stage. This very special one-man show has been specially commissioned for Deloitte Ignite, this year curated by Stephen Fry.
