Washington National Opera`s Ring
Washington National Opera’s Ring In the summer of 1981, Francesca Zambello, Director of Washington National Opera’s Ring and, since 2013, WNO’s Artistic Director, climbed to the top of Red Rocks, a vast outdoor arena at the foot of the Rockies near Denver, where, she noted, ‘gods and goddesses seem just out of sight. Space seems immeasurable in a place like that, and time appears to slow down, as if awaiting an appearance from the earth goddess Erda. I have often thought of this view in our planning of Wagner’s Ring cycle … It was very evocative of how I thought the Ring could start, and I began to see an American parallel to the story.’ These ideas took shape in a co-production between Washington National Opera and San Francisco Opera, and emerged, one opera at a time, at Washington DC and then, as a complete cycle in San Francisco in 2011. I saw the San Francisco performances and was hugely impressed not only by their artistic quality (Nina Stemme was a splendid Brünnhilde there too) but also by their vision and designs. Now the ‘Zambello Ring’ will be staged in its entirety at the Kennedy Centre, made possible by financial resources that have only recently become available. I can assure you, it will be worth the wait. The American visual references are handled with intelligence and taste, and are not far removed from Australian experience. ‘All of the great paintings of the idealized American West fit in with Wagner’s idea of what you see for such a short time in the beginning of ‘Das Rheingold’, says Zambello. Think of the Hudson River School, but also think of Eugene von Guérard and John Glover. I was fascinated too, to recognize in the entry of the gods into Valhalla – portrayed as 1920’s well off travellers making their way up the gangway of a transatlantic liner – a famous poster created in 1927 for one of the seminal works of American musical theatre: Showboat. The Valkyries resemble the aviatrixes who took to the skies with valour and daring in the 1930s and ‘40s. In Siegfried and Götterdämmerung, the all-too-vulnerable natural world succumbs in familiar ways to the forces of greed and a philosophy of ‘power at all costs’. But, as the music tells us, there is still hope; a last chance for reinvention. Across Wagner’s vast canvas are painted and projected some beautiful images (I have never seen a more beautiful first Act of Die Walküre), and although different epochs are depicted, as befits a work that speaks meaningfully to many times and places, the consistency and style of Zambello’s vision is impressive. Always, in her hands, Wagner’s drama is respected which, these days, is itself worthy of respect. I do hope you can join me for an exhilarating and moving Ring in May 2016. – Peter Bassett Götterdämmerung Act III, San Francisco Opera. Photo Cory Weaver.

B Francesca Zambello’s production ‘ … much more than an overlay of American imagery on a 19th-century spectacle of gods, dwarfs, men and magic talismans. It is now one of the best Ring cycles in more than a quarter of a century.’ – Philip Kennicott, The Washington Post Nina Stemme as Brünnhilde ‘In the punishing Immolation Scene at the end of Götterdämmerung, far from sounding vocally spent, Ms. Stemme took her singing to higher levels of burnished brilliance and expressive depth. A riveting presence, she was committed to the moment in every phrase she sang, every gesture she made. She received an ecstatic ovation.’ – Anthony Tommasini, New York Times Alan Held as Wotan/Wanderer ‘Bass-baritone Alan Held once more proved himself an eloquent and altogether admirable singing actor, who brought rich vocal and emotional dimensions to the role of Wotan: it would be hard to imagine a more moving Farewell.’ – Washington Post ‘Held inflected the libretto like a master Lieder specialist, while spinning out haunting pianissimos in the farewell.’ – Opera Daniel Brenna as Siegfried ‘ …a Wagner interpreter, the international opera world can really do with.’ – Der Neue Merke ‘Daniel Brenna is American, and must be one of the youngest and most convincing Siegfrieds around.’ – The Times Gordon Hawkins as Alberich ‘As the malign dwarf, Gordon Hawkins was a most impressive Alberich, singing with robust power and making the villain’s dark emotions – longing, pain, greed, shame and unadulterated hatred – chillingly manifest.’ – Lawrence A Johnson, The Classical Review David Cangelosi as Mime ‘As Mime, the wheedling dwarf with futile dreams of capturing the ring, tenor David Cangelosi dominated the first act of Siegfried.’ – Philip Kennicott, The Washington Post Eric Halfvarson as Hagen ‘Eric Halfvarson made Hagen a nefarious foe, his knife-edged bass a vocal counterforce to Siegfried.’ – Donna Perlmutter, Huffington Post Washington D.C. Stratford Festival and Toronto with Peter Bassett | 23–29 May 2016 (8 days) Mon 23 May Washington D.C. – Stratford, Ontario Transfer to Washington Airport for a late morning flights via Toronto to London (Ontario, Canada).
