The Dallas Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor Fabio Luisi, will present an opera-in-concert version of Wagner’s epic Der Ring des Nibelungen (the Ring cycle) in its entirety, becoming the first American orchestra in recent history to do so.
Siegfried answers the question: What has become of Brünnhilde these 20-or-so years since Die Walküre? As Wagner’s epic continues to unfold, the young hero of the story goes in search of a rich treasure, slays the monstrous cave-dwelling dragon who guards the hoard, and discovers a beautiful woman on a mountain top protected by impenetrable fire. And, finding her, awakens her with a kiss.
The concert will be performed with English supertitles. The full Ring cycle will be presented starting on Sunday, October 13.
