PBS to air Wagner's "Ring" cycle

Sounds nice, until you actually try to sit through it.

This is only the third time a complete Ring cycle has been aired on PBS. In 1983, Great Performances aired Patrice Chereau's production of the Ring conducted by Pierre Boulez from the Bayreuth Festival

That was the best "dam" production of Wagner ever made.

Are you referring to Wagner or opera in general?

All they need now is to have it hosted by Leonard Pinth-Garnell
