Gods, goddesses, and giants struggle to be lords of the ring, but as Wagner's mammoth music drama unfolds, the ring's curse unleashes its vengeance. From the opening sounds of the river Rhine's rippling waters through the majestic entry of the gods into Valhalla, you'll be swept away by Wagner's magnificent music. Wagner creates a vivid world and a musical experience never to be forgotten. The soaring voices of Indiana's only fully professional opera company, coupled with one of America's premier orchestras, promises to make this one of the highlights of Indiana's arts season.
