The Atlanta Opera posted the official trailer for TWILIGHT OF THE GODS, Wagner's final Ring cycle opera, set to run at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center in Atlanta.
Soprano Lise Lindstrom, who plays Brunnhilde in The Atlanta Opera's TWILIGHT OF THE GODS, shares insights into the characters and story of Wagner's final chapter of Das Ring der Nibelungen.
“Stories are stories are stories, whether it’s Wagner’s Wotan and Fricka (in the Ring), Handel’s Jupiter and Juno (in Handel’s SEMELE) or Broadway’s Tevye and Golde (FIDDLER ON THE ROOF) and they repeat in different cultures and traditions,” General Manager and Artistic Director of the Atlanta Opera, Tomer Zvulun, said to me. “And whether it’s talking about siblings or spouses, or parents and children, we always end with similar concerns.” Our conversation was about his company’s new production of Wagner’s TWILIGHT OF THE GODS, better known to Wagner aficionados as GOTTERDAMMERUNG, which opens on May 30 at Atlanta’s Cobb Performing Arts Center.
The Atlanta Opera will close its season with Tomer Zvulun's new production of Wagner's TWILIGHT OF THE GODS, completing the company's first Ring cycle and the first new American Ring staging since the pandemic.
The Atlanta Opera will present a new Tomer Zvulun production of GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, completing the first full Ring cycle staged in the Southeast, featuring Lise Lindstrom and Stefan Vinke.
The Atlanta Opera will present TURANDOT and TWILIGHT OF THE GODS (GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG) to close its 2025–2026 season. The productions will feature international opera performers and new stagings.
When we last saw Brunnhilde in Atlanta, in the second segment of Richard Wagner’s Ring Cycle, DIE WALKURE, she’d been punished by the gods for saving Sieglinde, but rescued by her father, Wotan. She was forced into sleep on a rock surrounded by a ring of fire, until wakened some day by a hero. Ta-da! SIEGFRIED’s eponymous hero, sung brilliantly by heldentenor Stefan Vinke, arrived to save the day.
The Atlanta Opera will continue its 2024-25 mainstage season with General and Artistic Director Tomer Zvulun's new production of Siegfried, the third opera in Wagner's monumental Ring cycle. Learn more!
