Ring Festival: An Evening with Maestro James Conlon

  • to This is a past program

James Conlon is the Richard Seaver Music Director of LA Opera and a Grammy-Award-winning conductor. Conlon has appeared as guest conductor with virtually every major North American and European orchestra and has been a frequent guest conductor at the Metropolitan Opera for more than 30 years.

Ring Festival LA is a citywide series of special exhibitions, performances, symposia, and events centered on LA Opera’s upcoming presentation of Richard Wagner’s Ring cycle, the first time that the epic masterwork will be presented in its entirety in Los Angeles.

Public programs are made possible, in part, by a major gift from Ann and Jerry Moss.

Additional support is provided by Bronya and Andrew Galef, Good Works Foundation and Laura Donnelley, an anonymous donor, the Hammer Programs Committee, and Susan and Leonard Nimoy.
