About this concert

OVERVIEW

Take a symphonic journey into a mythical world of gods, giants and heroes in the quest for the magic and powerful ring.  The lack of it, fuels its desire-it's possession leads to misery.
In sharing his excitement about Maazel's symphony-only adaptation of The Ring, Hans Graf says "Lorin Maazel's idea is great: to let a selection of orchestral highlights tell the whole story."
