LA's Ring Festival

It'll be all things "Ring" as LA's first-ever Ring Festival gets underway. Wagner is still controversial but his Ring Cycle marks Los Angeles Opera's coming of age. Join KCRW theatre critic James Taylor with LA Opera's James Conlon, Los Angeles Times Music Critic Mark Swed and Ken Reinhard, former director of UCLA's Center for Jewish Studies, about the man, the music and more.
