Rehearsing Daphne today with @regentsopera.bsky.social at St Hilda’s

Really sad to hear we have lost Bill Dare, worked with him on the Mary Whitehouse Experience. He was funny and he was kind and that is about as good as it gets. www.comedy.co.uk/people/news/...

With all our hearts, THANK YOU to everyone who came to #Yorkhalla in Bethnal Green over the last month. We are already bereft but so proud of everything our whole team achieved. A little bit of the Rhine will forever flow through East London.

Coming down slowly from the impact of the extraordinary @regentsopera.bsky.social Ring Cycle. An utter privilege to be so close to such powerful singing and acting. Unforgettable.

Drowned in sound… @regentsopera.bsky.social stick the landing with a monumental ‘Götterdämmerung’. A triumphant Ring Cycle: visceral, witty, gut-wrenching and heroically ambitious. Fantastic week.

Forging ahead (hey!) with the @regentsopera.bsky.social Ring - a suitably incendiary ‘Siegfried’ this evening. Performances of real physicality & power. Back on Sunday to watch it all go to blazes.

Siegmund on Tuesday, Mime tonight or Siegfried on Sunday?

We can't wait to hear your beautiful Woodbird one more time!

Superb climax to my birthday as the real epic is just beginning: a thrilling ‘Rheingold’ @regentsopera.bsky.social. Set up nicely for the next 13 hours or so… 😉

Things are hotting up (especially for Brünnhilde) in the @regentsopera.bsky.social Ring… incredible ‘Walküre’ this evening! 👏👏

Ring Cycle 2 starts 5pm today @regentsopera.bsky.social at York Hall, Bethnal Green (to be continued at 5pm Tuesday and Thursday, and 3pm next Sunday). There are a handful of tickets still available (and you don’t have to book all four operas together) - hope to see some of you there!

Hope you're having a great Saturday night - we're getting an early one as tomorrow we begin the end of the world (otherwise known as Das Rheingold). Hard to believe this is the last Ring Cycle the UK will see this year. York Hall, Bethnal Green, 5pm!

We're slowly coming up for air after last night's #Götterdämmerung. We'd be pretty broken right now if it wasn't for the fact WE START IT ALL AGAIN ON SUNDAY! Come and join us in #Yorkhalla - the water's lovely #Rheingold #RegentsRing #RingCycle #London #BethnalGreen

Not all superheros wear capes

The Ring has come full circle. Four delightful days with Regents Opera, experiencing the best of opera alongside the most creative output fringe theatre has to offer. Feeling a little bereft after Götterdämmerung – the gods have faced their twilight, and I’ll miss the lovely new friends I’ve made!

Götterdämmerung

We might be slightly mad right now...

Ring Cycle! Pizza! EVERYTHING!

Our #Götterdämmerung opens tomorrow! This is your last chance to see it first! (and there's only 3 chances in total). THIS IS NOT A DRILL. A small number of tickets are still available online and on the door.

The @regentsopera.bsky.social wins the award of best Valentine’s Day message (at least in the operatic world) with this…😂

Less is more in @regentsopera.bsky.social’s thoroughly engaging Rheingold ✍️ David Karlin bachtrack.com/review-rhein...

Thank you thank you thank you to the most incredible audience last night, we couldn't be doing this without you #DasRheingold #RegentsOperaRing #Yorkhalla #Wagner #BethnalGreen #London #RingCycle see you on TUESDAY

We were a bit busy last night, so here is our belated #RingCycle/ #superbowl joke: Gimme an E! *E*, Gimme an E! *E*, Gimme an E.... Oh you can see where we're going with this...

SO glad I didn’t miss ‘fringe’ Regents Opera’s Das Rheingold kicking off their complete Ring Cycle at York Hall. Small-scale Wagner, but nothing diminutive about their talent & creativity. James Schouten was a fabulous Loge – great elocution too! Can’t wait for Die Walküre next! #RingCycle

Curtain call after a Das Rheingold that really packed a punch in York Hall boxing ring @regentsopera.bsky.social

It begins in the Rhine, innit

Hey! HEY!! Don't tell anyone but we just released more £30 tickets for our opening show #DasRheingold this Sunday at #Yorkhalla (Bethnal Green, London) there will also be a small number of £25 rush tickets on the day, but we're very nearly full don't miss it! Www.ticketsource.co.uk/regents-opera

Any Opera House in the world would be proud to have an orchestra that works as hard and sounds as good as ours

Ooh, the whole @regentsopera.bsky.social #Ring thing feels even more real when you hold the gold-embossed souvenir programme…

We're not really sure what to do with ourselves except keep reminding you all to BUY TICKETS #DayOff #RingCycle #RegentsOperaRing #Yorkhalla #BethnalGreen #EastLondon #Tired #hashtag

Can we gently suggest you check out today's Times for @neilfisher81.bsky.social's interview with our @benwoodward1102.bsky.social and @operadiv.bsky.social www.thetimes.com/culture/clas...

FARQs (frequently asked Ring questions) - yes, we WILL have surtitles; no, sadly we can't open up the old swimming pool beneath the stage for the Rhine, but it's nice to know it's there.

Hojotoho folks! Sorry we're so quiet here - we're a wee bit busy right now... We'd love to hear from you if you ARE coming to our shows, or if you have any questions.

We're grateful to This Is London's New Year 2025 edition for this preview - TAKE THEIR ADVICE!

Ruth beat us too it, but yes, here is @benwoodward1102.bsky.social in the middle of it all

Teach a man to fish and he’ll eventually claim he just always had that knowledge innately and then try to explain to you how fishing works

And that’s a wrap on #Götterdämmerung rehearsals for Christmas. We have a show! Now we will simply add lights, costumes and THREE MORE OPERAS. bit.ly/RingTix Merry Christmas everyone!

Believe us when we say it's deeply odd coming out of #Götterdämmerung rehearsals every day and stepping straight into ***CHRISTMAS***

3 times a year we run "orchestral study days" where anyone with an instrument can come and play through an opera - usually a particularly mad one - with a professional cast. We could have told you this! www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Absolute scenes

We've done day 4 of staging #Götterdämmerung as part of our #RingCycle and, well, frankly, the combination of tired but excited is frankly akin to a 5 Yr old at the end of a birthday party who managed to snaffle a 3rd piece of cake. We cannot wait to get this out into the world.

Do I know anyone with knowledge of post-Brexit work visas for EU nationals? Had someone write about applying for a role in Uncanny Things (a run of over 30 days), and as far as I can see they'd need a visa to do so. Is that correct? Any advice appreciated.

If anyone here hasn't heard - yes, we're the crazy people staging a full Ring Cycle in East London on a tiny budget but the biggest ambition you can possibly imagine in Feb 25. If you're curious - click through, maybe even get tickets? You won't regret it!

It begins...

81 days to the #Ring, folks! A mere eighty-one! www.ticketsource.co.uk/regents-opera Bit.ly/DonateToRegents #Wagner #opera

84 days to the #RingCycle… www.ticketsource.co.uk/regents-opera

Our artistic director is getting his Wagner chat on this evening - do join, share, enjoy!
