Sing Faster: The Stagehands' Ring Cycle

"Infidelity, Lies, Betrayal. And that's just what's happening on stage."

With its four operas, seventeen-hour running time and months of rehearsal, Wagner's "Ring Cycle" is a daunting undertaking for any opera company. Jon Else goes backstage to show this rare event entirely from the point of view of union stagehands at the San Francisco Opera.
