Performer: Alexandra Razskazoff

With superb singing, inspired orchestral playing and imaginative staging, Atlanta Opera crowns its monumental Wagner undertaking.

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.

Highly idiomatic and effective singing by Greer Grimsley, Denyce Graves and other cast members, coupled with inventive stagecraft wizardry, make the Minnesota Opera's first-ever Rheingold a memorable production.
