Siegfried 2025: Join the Ring Leaders

Be part of these unparalleled performances.

This November, Simone Young leads the Orchestra and an all-star cast for the concert performance of Siegfried, the third instalment of Wagner’s Ring Cycle.

Help bring these landmark operas to life.

It has been 25 years since the Ring Cycle was performed in Sydney. When you join the Ring Leaders, you become an important partner in the Orchestra’s journey through these iconic operas. Each year we will invite you to renew your commitment to this incredible project and your support directly underpins the success of this immense undertaking.

Last year Die Walküre sold out both performances and was named the Winner of Limelight Magazine’s Giving Culture Award for 2024 “Performance of the Year”.

Whether you’re continuing the cycle, or this is your first experience, Siegfried stands alone as a complete story that demands to be experienced live. An archetypal hero’s journey, this is a true epic, with internationally acclaimed Simon O’Neill in the title role.

Join the Ring Leaders and enjoy exclusive experiences behind-the-scenes with Chief Conductor Simone Young and the cast.

Your support ensures the success of this immense four-year project showcasing the brilliant sound of the Orchestra.
