For, although the Regents Ring is a very different experience from Wagner in the opera house, the intensity and involvement is remarkably undiminished and even enhanced. When you consider how much money, planning and labour it takes to stage Wagner’s cycle, and remember how opera houses have faltered in the task recently, this Ring, which has still cost more than half a million pounds, is something of a marvel, and <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/nov/09/wagner-ring-cycle-regents-opera-ben-woodward-instead-of-100-ive-got-18-musicians-" data-link-name="in body link">with not an Arts Council</a> grant in sight.</p><p class="dcr-s3ycb2">Woodward and the Berlin-based director Caroline Staunton (who contributes useful essays in the programme book) have built their Ring up gradually since 2022. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/nov/14/das-rheingold-review-regents-operas-lean-and-mean-wagner-packs-a-punch" data-link-name="in body link">Das Rheingold</a> was first performed in 2022, Die Walküre a year later, and <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/feb/10/the-week-in-classical-siegfried-regents-opera-ring-cycle-freemasons-hall-review-the-handmaids-tale-eno-english-national-opera-coliseum-first-revival-poul-ruders-margaret-atwood-tosca-royal-opera-house-roh-ausrine-stundyte-marcelo-puente" data-link-name="in body link">Siegfried</a> last February, all in the Freemasons’ Hall in Covent Garden.

There are manifest faults and rough edges. The staging can be gnomic, and the string tone in Woodward’s band sometimes gets thin towards the end of a long act. Overwhelmingly, though, the ears and eyes adjust, and driven by Woodward’s urgent conducting, you don’t spend the evening wondering where the Wagner tubas or the timpani have got to.</p><p class="dcr-s3ycb2">What lifts this Ring above the level of an admirable oddity are two things. First, the minimalist proximity of the staging – a few movable white blocks serve multiple purposes – and the almost total absence of sets means the focus is relentlessly on character and psychology. The chief beneficiary of this is Siegfried, who under Staunton’s insightful direction is permanently struggling – even in his death scene – to understand his identity and his relationship with the world.</p><p class="dcr-s3ycb2">It also helps that the main roles are so reliably sung. More than that, indeed, in the case of Ralf Lukas’s Wotan, who brought the well-schooled vocalism of a long career in German opera houses to the Ring master’s role. In Das Rheingold, Lukas was perhaps less impactful than James Schouten’s sinuous and articulate Loge and Oliver Gibbs’s dark-toned and implacable Alberich. In Die Walküre and as the Wanderer in Siegfried, however, Lukas sang with a consistently elevated authority and a lieder singer’s attention to text.</p><figure id="7dbcbe16-2cea-4636-8125-1186576b8bd6" data-spacefinder-role="inline" data-spacefinder-type="model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.ImageBlockElement" class=" dcr-173mewl"><div id="img-3" class="dcr-1t8m8f2"><picture class="dcr-evn1e9"><source srcSet="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/9d29563dd3f191616999cbea286803079fab5a92/0_0_3256_2725/master/3256.jpg?width=620&dpr=2&s=none&crop=none" media="(min-width: 660px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.25), (min-width: 660px) and (min-resolution: 120dpi)"/><source srcSet="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/9d29563dd3f191616999cbea286803079fab5a92/0_0_3256_2725/master/3256.jpg?width=620&dpr=1&s=none&crop=none" media="(min-width: 660px)"/><source srcSet="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/9d29563dd3f191616999cbea286803079fab5a92/0_0_3256_2725/master/3256.jpg?width=605&dpr=2&s=none&crop=none" media="(min-width: 480px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.25), (min-width: 480px) and (min-resolution: 120dpi)"/><source srcSet="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/9d29563dd3f191616999cbea286803079fab5a92/0_0_3256_2725/master/3256.jpg?width=605&dpr=1&s=none&crop=none" media="(min-width: 480px)"/><source srcSet="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/9d29563dd3f191616999cbea286803079fab5a92/0_0_3256_2725/master/3256.jpg?width=445&dpr=2&s=none&crop=none" media="(min-width: 320px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.25), (min-width: 320px) and (min-resolution: 120dpi)"/><source srcSet="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/9d29563dd3f191616999cbea286803079fab5a92/0_0_3256_2725/master/3256.jpg?width=445&dpr=1&s=none&crop=none" media="(min-width: 320px)"/><img alt="Brian Smith Walters as Siegmund and Justine Viani as Sieglinde in Die Walküre, part of Regent’s Opera Ring Cycle." src="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/9d29563dd3f191616999cbea286803079fab5a92/0_0_3256_2725/master/3256.jpg?width=445&dpr=1&s=none&crop=none" width="445" height="372.4278255528256" loading="lazy" class="dcr-evn1e9"/></picture><a href="#img-3" data-ignore="global-link-styling" aria-hidden="true" tabIndex="-1" class="open-lightbox dcr-13fd1ms"><button data-element-id="7dbcbe16-2cea-4636-8125-1186576b8bd6" type="button" aria-haspopup="dialog" class="open-lightbox dcr-4tmywn"><svg viewBox="-3 -3 30 30" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" aria-hidden="true"><path fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" d="M23 8.75V1.5l-.5-.5h-7.25v1.25l4.5.6L14 8.575 15.4 10l5.75-5.725.6 4.475zm-22 6.5v7.25l.475.5h7.25v-1.25l-4.475-.6 5.725-5.775L8.6 14l-5.775 5.725-.575-4.475z"></path></svg><span class="dcr-194i6pr">View image in fullscreen</span></button></a></div><figcaption data-spacefinder-role="inline" class="dcr-1tx6u99"><span class="dcr-1inf02i"><svg width="18" height="13" viewBox="0 0 18 13"><path d="M18 3.5v8l-1.5 1.5h-15l-1.5-1.5v-8l1.5-1.5h3.5l2-2h4l2 2h3.5l1.5 1.5zm-9 7.5c1.9 0 3.5-1.6 3.5-3.5s-1.6-3.5-3.5-3.5-3.5 1.6-3.5 3.5 1.6 3.5 3.5 3.5z"></path></svg></span><span class="dcr-1qvd3m6">‘Fire and intelligence’… Brian Smith Walters as Siegmund and Justine Viani as Sieglinde in Die Walküre, part of Regent’s Opera Ring Cycle.</span> Photograph: Tristram Kenton/The Guardian</figcaption></figure><p class="dcr-s3ycb2">Neither Catharine Woodward’s Brünnhilde nor Peter Furlong’s Siegfried, admirable though each was, quite reached that level. Woodward, though, was an immensely sympathetic and committed Brünnhilde throughout, and she saved her best till last in a Götterdämmerung immolation scene of vocal distinction and probing understanding. Furlong’s light-voiced Siegfried was indefatigable in this most punishing of roles, as well as attractively sung.</p><p class="dcr-s3ycb2">Elsewhere, Justine Viani was notable for the fire and intelligence of her Sieglinde and Gutrune, and Andrew Mayor made as much as one can out of Donner and Gunther. Brian Smith Walters was a gutsy and gritty Siegmund, Simon Wilding a commanding Hagen, and Henry Grant Kerswell an affecting Fasolt. Holden Madagame acted outstandingly as Mime, though the upper voice had little body. Mae Heydorn was a hypnotic Erda (as well as singing a Rhinemaiden and a Norn), and Corinne Hart an unusually interesting Woodbird.</p><p class="dcr-s3ycb2">Staunton’s direction offers insights, puzzles and some jokes. As the Wanderer, Wotan turns up as an electrician to fix the lights. The production has its own leitmotivs, including a fire extinguisher as a murder weapon, a frock worn by three different characters, and occasional bursts of shadow boxing, presumably a homage to the setting. Isabella van Braeckel’s designs and costumes are an eclectic and entertaining mix.</p><p class="dcr-s3ycb2">With the cycle’s 150th anniversary approaching in 2026, Regents Opera’s Ring is the only British performance of Wagner’s cycle about power and renewal this year. Hats off to them. With deluded megalomania so topical right now, this Ring could hardly be more timely.</p><footer class="dcr-s3ycb2"><p class="dcr-s3ycb2"><em><span data-dcr-style="bullet"></span> </em><a
