San Francisco Opera Marketing Director Lisa Bullard said: “I’m pleased that after our successful 20-month Ring cycle subscription campaign, we are now able to offer all remaining tickets for each individual performance. Beginning May 1, music lovers can choose to attend one or more of the Ring operas. There are a limited number of great seats remaining for all 12 performances.”

During San Francisco Opera’s subscription campaign for the Ring, ticket sales have been robust and far-ranging. To date, audiences for the summer 2018 cycles hail from 48 states and 27 countries, including Australia, Brazil, Finland, Iceland, Mexico, Poland and Singapore.

San Francisco Opera presents Wagner’s Ring cycle—one of the most ambitious musical and theatrical works ever conceived—with an internationally-renowned cast of Wagnerian artists, featuring soprano Evelyn Herlitzius as Brünnhilde, bass-baritone Greer Grimsley as Wotan, tenor Daniel Brenna as Siegfried, soprano Karita Mattila as Sieglinde, tenor Brandon Jovanovich in the roles of Siegmund and Froh, mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton as Fricka and Waltraute, and many others, directed by Francesca Zambello and under the baton of leading Wagnerian interpreter Donald Runnicles.

In anticipation of the Ring, San Francisco Opera presents an ongoing Ring Festival of lectures, film screenings, panel discussions and musical performances lasting through the end of the third cycle. One highlight among the many Festival offerings are a series of Wagner chorus concerts featuring the San Francisco Opera Chorus on each Thursday (June 14, 21 and 28) during the three cycles.
