Has anyone been going to the Ring cycle operas at the ROH? I’ve been to the three so far and planning to book the last one which is in March - I think booking opens soon for that one.

I noticed on the website that they are doing the full cycle four times next autumn. I’d love to do this but can’t imagine how much it will cost - including trains or hotels. Must start saving.

Ah, the last part isn’t March. It’s Jan/Feb.

Yes - and Parsifal this weekend. Always sit in the amphitheatre as the prices downstairs are SO high.

Enjoy Parsifal! We sit in the amphitheatre too. I’m stressed about getting tickets on 21st for Gotterdammrung (sp?). I can’t miss the last part but I have a feeling it’s going to be very popular. There’s only 6 performances.

I'm going on 7th February. Friends' booking opened about a week ago.
