NY Metropolitan Opera – Live in HD via Satellite
Robert Lepage’s production of the final opera in the Ring cycle, Götterdämmerung, opens January 27 at the Met. In the cycle’s thrilling conclusion, in which deception and greed lead to a global cataclysm, Deborah Voigt stars in the role of Brünnhilde and Jay Hunter Morris plays Siegfried. The cast also includes Waltraud Meier as Waltraute, Eric Owens as Alberich, and, as the Gibichungs who scheme to destroy Siegfried, Hans-Peter König as Hagen, Wendy Bryn Harmer as Gutrune, and Iain Paterson as Gunther. Fabio Luisi is the Principal Conductor.
“Götterdämmerung is different from the other Ring operas because it is about society,” Lepage says. “The more the story progresses, the more it moves away from the realm of the gods to focus on the power and ambition of human beings. Götterdämmerung is about Brünnhilde in society, her journey as a character, and her role as the heroine who must restore balance to the world.”
Lepage’s design team from Siegfried reassembles to create the visuals for the final segment of the Ring.

Vancouver Chamber Choir
Jon Washburn, conductor
“unearthly beauty and awe-inspiring power… how celestial singers should sound” 
Formed in 1971, the Vancouver Chamber Choir, with conductor Jon Washburn, is noted for depth and range of repertoire and excellent interpretive skills. The 20 singers delight audiences with selections sung in more than 35 languages, ranging from chant to folksong, traditional to avant-garde, singing a cappella, or accompanied either by piano, orchestra or jazz trio.
In addition to a busy home schedule of concerts, broadcasts, and educational programs, the Choir has toured throughout the US, China and Europe. A leading advocate of Canadian music and composers, the VCC has commissioned and performed more than 170 new choral works, and in a discography of some 40 recordings, several are devoted to Canadian composers.
To quote the music critic for The Toronto Star, “Jon Washburn’s Choir remains at the forefront of Canadian vocal ensembles.”
Concert presented by: Coast Recital Society
