D402: Discovering Wagner's Ring Cycle (online)

Cappella Nova Outreach

The popularity of Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter show that myth and fantasy never go out of fashion: here is an opportunity to be guided through the four operas that make up Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung), combining musical examples with description of the action and biographical background. This introduction to one of the pinnacles of the classical music tradition and the opportunity to get totally immersed will help you to really enjoy and appreciate the extraordinary power of the music and storytelling of The Ring. If you have ever wondered what all the fuss was about, these ten hours will tell you.

Twice weekly meetings on Tuesdays and Fridays.
