Katy Cawkwell - storyteller Rachael Buxton - pianist Mandy Groom - soprano
A clear powerful retelling of a gripping family saga featuring incestuous twins, a warrior queen, an irresolute king and a hero whose sense of honour leads him inexorably to his death.
These are the stories, drawn from the Norse Edda, the Volsung saga and the Nibelungenlied, that inspired Tolkien and Wagner. They are interwoven with lieder by Brahms, Schubert and Mahler.
Performance is in two 50 min halves, not suitable for under 10s
