After the monumental critical successes of, and standing ovations for, last year’s Das Rheingold and Die Walküre Saffron Opera Group continues its concert Ring Cycle. (“ I have to reach back to memories of Karajan’s days for a Die Walküre that was overall as well sung as this” – Paul Dawson-Bowling, Wagner News).
