On Monday night, Götterdämmerung, the final and longest opera of the Melbourne Ring Cycle opened. The cycle is complete and there are two more complete cycles to run.

The full cycles are sold out, but there are still return and rush tickets available for each opera. Although, I’m not sure how to choose just one of the four.
