Valiant heroes on quests for divine glory. Ghostly figures doomed to wander the earth seeking revenge. Bloody battles between men and immortals, and golden sunrises over majestic mountaintops.

This thrilling event will introduce the David W. and Orit K. Carpenter Concert Shell, an exquisite acoustic enhancement that brings Wagner's music to vivid life.
