Feel the electricity and excitement alongside thousands of Ring fans from around the world. It promises to be the theatrical experience of a lifetime! As praised by The Wall Street Journal, "Ms. Zambello has come up with impeccable staging to match the music and plot... I could not take my eyes off the stage, my ears from the music, my mind from the plights of these doomed characters. Conductor Donald Runnicles interpreted and steered Wagner's sublime score precisely and transparently, with an orchestra of virtuosi." _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
