Special Winter 2021 Session: Wagner’s “Ring” in Depth
This series will go through Der Ring des Nibelungen one act at a time, exploring in detail the endlessly fascinating ambiguities of its drama, the rich fabric of its musical score, the myths from which its story is derived, and the multiple ways singers, conductors, designers, directors, and observers have interpreted over a century and a half in which it has never stopped being a cultural landmark.
