The first woman to conduct a complete Ring Cycle, in 1999, Simone has since led complete performances of the cycle in Berlin and most recently Hamburg.

Returning to Brisbane for the Hamburg season, Simone will lead the Hamburg State Opera, of which she is General Manager, alongside guest singers, some of whom have performed at Bayreuth, the theatre where the first complete Ring Cycle was seen in 1876. Click here to book.
