The last summer for Ring 1!

By 1980, Seattle’s Ring was a well-known west coast cultural phenomenon.

Edward Sooter made a great addition to our Ring cast at its fifth consecutive summer.

Johanna Meier and Alberto Remedios joined our cast this summer.

Simon Estes was a strong Hagen, and Ute Vinzing joined our Ring for the first time as Brünnhilde.

A new Brünnhilde headlined our second complete cycle.

The first Ring performed complete within a week in the U.S. in a generation.

A second Ring opera is added to Seattle’s repertory.
