Our Journey to Valhalla will explore two cultural monuments from two eras-one in tone and one in stone: Der Ring des Nibelungen and Mount Rushmore, the so-called “Shrine of Democracy”. At the conclusion of the evening, attendees will better understand how monumental artifacts inspire and influence cultural identities.
Opera Dives Deep provides audiences with fresh insights from regional scholars and industry professionals to enrich appreciation and understanding of the operas in our season. Both established operagoers and curious newcomers alike are sure to make discoveries.
