The KSO opens its 20th season with a comparison of two epic tales about powerful mystical rings. From 1848 -1874 composer/drammatist Richard Wagner brought about a seismic change in both music and opera with his four opera cycle Ring of the Nibelung. Some 90 years later J.R.R. Tolkien penned a three novel saga titled Lord of the Rings over a span of twelve years. Between 2000-2003 director Peter Jackson together with film score composer Howard Shore brought the Tolkien adventure to the big screen.
