Met Opera Ring Cycle 2012 Review
No longer a Ring virgin, I am now a fully qualified Lord of the Ring after sitting through all 19 or so hours of the Met’s epic, and somewhat controversial, new Ring Cycle.
Cutting edge director Robert Lepage has divided audiences with his high-tech staging, with detractors lamenting the lack of direction of the human performers. The massive machinery of the setting, designed by Carl Fillion with video images by Boris Firquet, is certainly mightily impressive, but does it serve the story?
Not a connoisseur of Wagner’s music for The Ring by any measure, I have focused on describing the connection between scenery and story, with some comment on the world-class performers assembled to take on these most challenging of roles. The reviews are based on the third Ring Cycle in May 2012.
