Part 1 of The Ring Cycle was broadcast on BBC TV a week ago. Quoting from the BBC website:
The first of the four music dramas in Richard Wagner's monumental Ring cycle, in a radically stripped-back, critically acclaimed production by Opera North. Filmed during live performances in 2016, this is total immersion in a unique, all-encompassing music drama.
It was subtitled in English and had occasional explanations if what was going on. I thought it was great.

Part 1 is available on the iPlayer for another 3 weeks. Parts 2-4 are available for 5 months.
