About Siegfried
In part three of the Ring, Wagner’s cosmic vision focuses on his hero’s early conquests, while Robert Lepage’s revolutionary stage machine transforms itself from bewitched forest to mountaintop love nest. Gary Lehman sings the title role and Deborah Voigt’s Brünnhilde is his prize. Bryn Terfel is the Wanderer. Fabio Luisi conducts.
Conductor: Fabio Luisi. In German with English subtitles.
Approximate running time: 5 hrs. 30 min.
There will be a pre-show panel discussion about the opera, hosted by Dr. James Kincaid, Aerol Arnold Chair in English and Professor of English.
About Dr. James Kincaid
He's been eluding the authorities (inside USC and out) for years now, evading requirements for decency and responsibility. Word is he gives no assignments, encourages plagiarism, and teaches things so far outside his competence (had he any) as to make us all blush. One of his many areas of improper floundering is Wagner's Ring, which masterpiece he taught and did public programs on this last spring and summer--more's the pity.
