The J. Paul Getty Museum joins other Southland cultural institutions and the LA Opera for Ring Festival LA, a series of special events in connection with the first-ever presentation in Los Angeles of the four-opera drama The Ring of the Nibelung.
On June 19th, the Getty Villa is the site of the Marquis Seminar– Wagner’s Mythology: Roots and Inspiration.
Richard Wagner culled from many sources—including ancient Greek drama—to create his masterwork Der Ring des Nibelungen (known as the "Ring Cycle"), four operas based on German and Scandinavian folklore. This Marquis Seminar explores the sources that compelled Wagner to create his magnum opus.
The seminar at the Getty Villa features a welcome by LA Opera Board member Barry Sanders, and talks by Getty antiquities curator Mary Louise Hart, Getty education specialist Peter Tokofsky and UCLA professor of musicology Mitchell Morris, followed by lunch and guided tours of the galleries.
The afternoon features a special presentation by LA Opera maestro James Conlon, and a musical performance of "Music That Inspired Wagner's Mythology," featuring soprano Erika Wueschner, tenor Robert MacNeil, and pianist Catherine Miller.
Seats are limited. Tickets are $95; $75 students. A box lunch is included in the ticket price. Open to 200 participants.
Advance tickets are required, and are available at (310) 440-7300 or www.getty.edu.
This is the Getty’s final event as part of Ring Festival LA. If you haven’t been part of this unique citywide cultural experience, don’t miss this opportunity.
