Wagner’s “Ring” cycle is arguably among the greatest works for the operatic stage. The four operas are based on the legends of the Norse gods. Directors have envisioned these operas in numerous locations and time periods. Conductors and singers have earned both well-deserved acclaim and criticism for their interpretations. In short, these operas can be controversial. But, oh my, they are worth every minute! Videos this semester are selected for maximum effect.
Check to see if this course has posted a class outline or syllabus.
This offering meets for a total of 13 session(s).
