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.

Laurent Pelly’s darkly stylish production of Manon is revived with a strong cast of singers. In the title role, Lisette Oropesa demonstrated elegant and incisive singing, while Michael Fabiano was her virile and powerful partner.
