SPEEDO | A Documentary Short Film

SPEEDO, a short documentary, follows bass-baritone singer Ryan Speedo Green as he performs in the LA Phil’s bespoke production of Richard Wagner’s opera "Das Rheingold." Green explains how he was granted a second chance in life thanks to the power of music and his village of role models. With an ever-growing repertoire of operatic roles under his belt, and having performed on the world’s greatest stages, he steps into his biggest career challenge to date. Performing as Wotan, one of the most coveted characters in the venerable "Ring" cycle, Green unexpectedly discovers a new freedom in being the Speedo on stage that he’s always hoped to be out of the spotlight.

I went to high school with Speedo. Its amazing to see his accomplishments from hearing him singing in the hallways of tiny country school. Keep killing it, man!!

You were blessed to have those mentors who recognized the diamond in the rough when you were young. May your story inspire others that they can shine beyond their wildest dreams.

So deeply touching. We all need to find the Speedo Green's among us...and reach out to mentor in any way we can.

We need this. As an educator, I am so used to being vilified by media, culture, etc. and as a result, there can be some bitterness in my practice; this inspires me, opens me up to do better work. Please, introduce us to more of those that make up the brilliant LA Phil.
