It's a story based on Norse mythology involving dragons and maidens, Gods and gold. The struggle of choosing between power and love … two human but ultimately incompatible pursuits. 

It could only be Wagner's The Ring Cycle.Often described using words like epic the roughly 15-hour performance spread over four operas may seem daunting to some, but Opera singer Daniel Sumegi who’s playing the protagonist Wotan or The Wanderer, King of the Gods says not to overthink it.

You can see him in Opera Australia's performance in Brisbane.
