Eine kleine Wagnerhumor

Unsure about attending Union Avenue Opera's Das Rheingold? Overwhelmed by all the drama, characters and leitmotifs to keep track of? Let classical music humorist Anna Russell explain it all succinctly and hilariously with her famous "analysis" of Wagner's Ring Cycle.



(The above embedded video is a playlist showing all three parts in succession.)

Das Rheingold opens August 17 and runs August 18, 24, 25 at Union Avenue Opera, 733 N. Union Blvd. All performances begin at 8:00pm. Production sung in German with projected English supertitles. Tickets may be purchased online at www.unionavenueopera.org or by calling 314-361-2881.
