Wagner’s grand mythological, apocalyptic vision, Götterdämmerung, takes on a sci-fi-inspired aura this weekend when Houston Grand Opera presents this final installment of its four-year-long presentation of the Ring Cycle.

Patrick Summers conducts, with tenor Simon O’Neill, soprano Christine Goerke, and baritone Christopher Purves featured in Franc Aleu’s high-tech production. Performances are 6 p.m. Saturday and April 25, 29, and May 4, and 2 p.m. May 7 at Wortham Theater Center. houstongrandopera.org; 713-228-6737
