EVENT DESCRIPTION
On Tuesday, May 11th at 7:00pm, a member of LA Opera’s Speakers Bureau will present a free talk on Wagner’s Ring cycle, "Wagner vs. Tolkien: Who's the Real Lord of the Rings?" at the Redondo Beach Library. Reservations are not required.
Richard Wagner and J. R. R. Tolkien were the two greatest experts of their respective times on myth. Each took the ancient Norse legend of the Edda and applied his own great talents to it. From these two diverse geniuses came opera's longest and most challenging masterwork, and one of the greatest literary works of the last century.
LA Opera’s Library Project presents more than 90 free opera talks each season in libraries all over the Los Angeles region. These insightful talks, given by members of LA Opera’s Speakers Bureau, address history, literature, philosophy and fine arts within the context of opera. The Speakers Bureau is LA Opera’s volunteer team of trained experts who address civic and social organizations, philanthropic groups, schools and library audiences throughout southern California, free of charge.
