Zambello's Ring Cycle Finally Reaches Washington - To Include Nina Stemme

Written By The Wagnerian on Wednesday 21 May 2014 | 5:11:00 pm

After many troubled years - and its eventual premier in San Francisco a few years ago -  Francesca Zambello's "American Ring" will finally premiere in in Washington in 2016. Of especial interest to us, among some fine performers so far confirmed,  is also the announcement of Nina Stemme as Brunhilde in some of the cycles and one of our present preferred Siegfrieds in the form of Daniel Brenna, (who you can also catch in the theatre and on BBC Radio 3 this year in Opera North's Götterdämmerung)

More details below. You might also want to check out The Wagner Blogs article for more on the history of this cycle by clicking here.
