What a Ring!

     I attended performances at Lincoln Center and The Met during high school, and some of it rubbed off, at least enough that I still enjoy classical performances (while leaving room for virtually every other genre too!)
     So the story of a new Met production of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelungs) that includes maybe their most expensive, most elaborate stage set ever caught my attention. Watch a video of the work-in-progress here. And there's word that the season's performances will be available in HD at 1,500 theaters around the world starting October 9th.
     Not sure if any of them are in striking distance of Alabama, though Atlanta would be a good bet.
