Each applicant is fairly new to opera and has never before seen Wagner’s Ring des Nibelungen. The selected host will experience Seattle Opera from the inside out, participating in exclusive backstage tours and events and conversations with the artists, crew, and General Director Speight Jenkins, all of which culminates in attending – for their first time - the Mt. Everest of all opera experiences: Richard Wagner's Ring cycle.

  5. Meh, I don't want my opera commentary to come from the equivalent of a channel 4 talking head. This concept was great but I'm probably not going to bother watching.
