Seattle Opera's beloved Ring 2, the intriguing and imaginative production of Wagner's tetralogy directed by François Rochaix and designed by Robert Israel, played in 1986, 1987, 1991, and 1995 (with a preview of Die Walkure in 1985). Valkyries on flying carousel horses, a dragon born of an unholy union between a locomotive and an excavator, and plenty of theatrical magic and incredible singing won this production fans from all around the world.
