On November 3, 2008 Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky joined Placido Domingo, General Director of the LA Opera, and other officials to announce the “Ring Festival,” a major Countywide arts and culture extravaganza planned for 2010 to celebrate LA Opera’s presentation of Richard Wagner’s Ring Cycle. Events will include exhibitions, performances, symposia and special events developed for the occasion, which will mark the first time that Wagner’s four-opera epic work will be presented in its entirety in Los Angeles. A wide variety of venues will host events throughout Southern California from April 15 through June 30, 2010. “We can all be proud that so many diverse organizations are joining together in this incredible effort,” Yaroslavsky said. “Ring Festival LA will highlight the wealth of arts and culture that is unique to our town. The festival puts Los Angeles at the forefront of our major international cultural destinations, drawing together visitors from around the world and residents from neighborhoods across our county. It’s truly a celebration for all of us.” Visit LA Opera Ring Festival for full details.
