Reviews of previous productions:

Siegfried

‘This Siegfried was a remarkable achievement, which bodes well for the company’s Götterdämmerung next year … So gripping was the final scene. If only every performance outside an opera house could be like this.’ (The Wagner Journal)

Die Walküre

‘The London Opera Company is set to perform Siegfried next year, and, based on the strength of this Die Walküre, it is an extremely enticing prospect … In a very short period of time The London Opera Company have shown themselves to be leaders in Wagner’ (OMH review)
