How do we bring such masterpieces as Wagner’s Ring from the page to the stage? Artistic Director of the Washington National Opera Francesca Zambello explores how she takes the words and music of Wagner and translates those into the visual ideas for the sets and costumes. The presentation will include visuals from the WNO Ring production and musical selections performed by soprano Lori Phillips and pianist David Moody.
The exhibition Wagner’s Ring: Forging an Epic will open at 6:00 pm for program attendees.
