Imagine each of the four Ring operas condensed into the highlights of story and leitmotif as the fantastical characters of Vegas City Opera’s Ring visit your front door and “Ring” your doorbell. The citywide spectacle culminated in a digital event at 7:00 PM on November 14th, 2020 as the Vegas City Opera Company sang the entire Vegas saga in about an hour! Filming between September and November, 2020. The project was developed with COVID-19 safety protocols in place.
