Performer: Atlanta Opera Orchestra

The second installment in The Atlanta Opera's first-ever Ring Cycle benefits from the committed performances of veteran Wagnerians like Christine Goerke and Greer Grimsley.

The Atlanta Opera presents a superior live production of Leoncavallo's Pagliacci to a masked, socially distanced audience.

Jake Heggie's Dead Man Walking is credited as being the most performed 21st-century opera, and with good reason.
