Interesting.
I'm not much of an opera fan - probably because I can't understand a damn thing they're saying - but "The Ring" sounds like it could be quite interesting.
Most modern opera companies provide a translation on a screen, either above the stage or on individual seats. the Ring's story is awesome, and is quite similar to the Lord of the Rings in many respects. If you have a lot of time to spend experiences the marriage of all the arts (like about 4-5 hours for each part of the tetralogy), then by all means you should go for it.
'Course, we aren't blessed with
huge costume/staging productions
here in the States on the level
of those performed in Europe, but
it's going to be a once-in-a-life-
time event for some of us.
