About this event

Daniel Barenboim鈥檚 Proms Ring cycle with the Staatskapelle Berlin continues with the razored strings and yelping brass of a violent storm, the cloudburst of incestuous love, a bitter marital dispute and the first appearance of Wotan鈥檚 rebel daughter, Br眉nnhilde, sung by a leading exponent of the role, Nina Stemme.
