Wagner's Ring Cycle

In November 2026, Opera Bastille is performing the complete Ring Cycle by Wagner. This production, directed by Calixto Bieito and conducted by Pablo Heras-Casado, was previously performed piecemeal (one Opera at a time) since early 2025 (which is how I saw it).

The discussion subject is Wagner's Ring Cycle itself (any production, or just having read the libretto and/or heard a recording) - so no need to have seen the Opera Bastille version.

No musical training/understanding is expected (I have none) - though, of course, it would be more than welcome.

My way in:
Personally, I came across an interpretation which draws upon psychoanalysis/Jung which has me convinced that Wagner was demonstrating a model of the human psyche where a psychological order collapses and is replaced by a new one. But I'm looking forward to hearing other interpretations!

What do I need to bring:
You are more than welcome to arrive with just your thoughts. I'll have some drinks/snacks but if you feel compelled, you can bring some as well.
