| Experience the fantastic and complex saga of Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen", as told entirely from the point of view of the carpenters and stagehands at the San Francisco Opera. Producer and Academy Award nominee John Else brings a radically new perspective of the unseen, unheard people who do the hard work of mounting the production, from inside the scenery, from the wings, from deep backstage, far down in the traps or from the rigging catwalk sixty feet above, and who interpret it to the rest of us as only they can. Why it may not be exactly the way Wagner imagined it, the resulting opera turned inside out is hugely entertaining. | |||
