His early career was in Austria and Germany but he later developed his career in the United Kingdom . He has been particularly associated with Wagner 's operas, especially the role of Wotan in the Ring Cycle which he sung in the Sadler's Wells Opera / English National Opera production under the baton of Reginald Goodall . In these performances he partnered Rita Hunter as Brunnhilde and Alberto Remedios as Siegfried . The recordings made with these artists based on this production are regarded as one of the classic Wagner sets, even though, (in accordance with ENO practice) they are sung in English. Bailey's other memorable perfromances at the ENO include the Father in Humperdinck 's opera Hansel And Gretel . He has also performed with the Royal Opera House , Covent Garden and in many opera houses around the world, including at Bayreuth Festival . |
