Sigurd - the stories of the Ring

A clear, powerful retelling of a gripping family saga featuring incestuous twins, a formidable dragon, a warrior queen, an irresolute king and a hero whose peculiar sense of honour draws him inexorably to his death.

These are the stories, drawn from the Norse Edda, the Volsung Saga and the Nibelungenlied, that inspired Tolkein and Wagner.

Either, "Sigurd and Fafnir" (storytelling only) or "Sigurd and Brunhild" (storytelling interwoven with lieder by Brahms, Mahler, Schubert and others). Click here for more details of "Sigurd and Brunhild" in collaboration with Rachael Buxton, pianist and Mandy Groom, soprano.
