The Ring Ring
Why does The Ring cost so much?
Wagner’s music dramas are notoriously complicated to stage. They require a large orchestra and sophisticated voices that marry up to his orchestration. Rehearsing and performing these works takes more time than, say, a Puccini opera.
Thus, the cost of staging Wagner is greater than most other opera repertoire. That is why we need a Ring Ring.
