Experience the grandeur of Norse mythology brought to life in "The Legend of the Ring" by West Edge Opera. This monumental event showcases Richard Wagner's epic four-opera saga, masterfully condensed into an action-packed evening by David Seaman. Set against the backdrop of divine music, gods and humans clash in a fierce battle over a magical ring that bestows the power to rule the world. This arrangement, sung in German with English surtitles, spans 3 hours and 30 minutes, including an intermission, offering an immersive journey into Wagner's legendary world.

"The Legend of the Ring" has become a beloved favorite, returning to the stage by popular demand on August 4, 9, and 17. Under the baton of Conductor and Music Director Jonathan Khuner, the production features a stellar cast including Tracy Cox as Brunnhilde, Philip Skinner as Wotan, Mary Evelyn Hangley as Freia/Sieglinde, Stephanie Sanchez as Fricka, and Alex Boyer in the dual roles of Siegmund/Siegfried, among others. Directed by Sam Helfrich, this production promises an unforgettable evening of opera at its most powerful and evocative.
