Review of The Ring and I: The Passion, The Myth, The Mania


There is nothing not to like here. The interviews are fun and insightful, great characters everywhere. Intriguing settings -- I'm particularly fond of the slightly out-of-tune piano and the behind-the-scenes at the Met stuff. My only complaint is that the program itself is Wagnerian as defined at the end: knowing the task is impossible, the Valiant Producers still pursued this particular grail (oops! wrong opera!). In sum, Bravo!
