The Atlanta Opera

Tonight, a journey four years in the making reaches its culmination. And a new chapter begins. 🌟

We are proud to announce The Atlanta Opera Ring Festival — coming June 2029.

Four operas. Two complete cycles. One unforgettable week. Audiences from around the world will gather in Atlanta to experience Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen as it was intended — opera by opera, night by night, in a festival setting unlike anything the South has ever seen.

🗓️ Cycle One: June 9–14, 2029
🗓️ Cycle Two: June 16–21, 2029

Tonight's final chapter is only the beginning. Join the Valhalla Society for first access to the best seats — or register to be a Ring Leader to receive festival updates and future on-sale announcements.

We are proud to spotlight John Arnold and Wayd Odle, performing the First and Second Vassals in Twilight of the Gods. The power of a production like this lives in every voice on that stage — and we are grateful for the exceptional talent that fills every corner of our cast.

Don't miss your chance to experience the conclusion of Wagner's monumental Ring Cycle. Tickets at atlantaopera.org.

Four years in the making — and General & Artistic Director Tomer Zvulun has a lot to say about what it means to finally bring this journey home.

We are so grateful to BroadwayWorld for sitting down with Tomer ahead of Twilight of the Gods to talk about the vision behind The Atlanta Opera's first-ever Ring Cycle, the challenges of mounting one of opera's most ambitious works, and what this moment means for Atlanta's arts community.

Doors open at 9:30am. Free and open to the public. Full details and registration at atlantaopera.org/event/behind-the-ring-wagner-symposium-2/

We are so grateful to EarRelevant for this thoughtful and generous piece on Twilight of the Gods and what this moment means for The Atlanta Opera — and for Atlanta. Writer Mark Gresham captures something we feel deeply: that this production is more than a single night at the opera. It is the culmination of a decade of artistic growth, institutional transformation, and an expanding sense of what is possible here in the South.

We are delighted to introduce Cadie J. Bryan as Woglinde, Alexandra Razskazoff as Wellgunde, and Gretchen Krupp as Flosshilde — the enchanting Rhinemaidens of Twilight of the Gods. Guardians of the gold that started it all, these three bring warmth, wit, and wonder to Wagner's epic finale.
