  • Seattle Opera Announces First Live Audio Recording: 2013 Ring Available for Pre-Order Now
    FOR RELEASE: June 26, 2014 Press Contact: Gabrielle Nomura, 206.676.5559, [email protected] Seattle Opera Announces First Live Audio Recording: 2013 Ring Available for Pre-Order Now Powerhouse Voices, Orchestra in High-definition Seattle—Seattle Opera and AVIE Records announced today that they will release a live recording of Seattle Opera’s 2013 Der Ring des Nibelungen, available as a physical, 14-CD box set, digital download, and for online streaming. For forty years, Seattle Opera has built its international reputation on highly acclaimed live performances of Wagner’s Ring cycle; now, for the first time, the company is offering the Ring in another format. Devotees from all 50 states and 22 countries flocked to Seattle last summer for the opportunity to hear Wagner’s most ambitious work performed by a cast carefully chosen by Seattle Opera General Director Speight Jenkins. According to Opera News, the 2013 Ring was “better than ever … Asher Fisch’s conducting gave unprecedented musical strength; and German heldentenor Stefan Vinke’s Siegfried was outstanding, the best Seattle has experienced.” Speight Jenkins explained the state-of-the-art technology that distinguishes this Ring recording: “Traditional microphones can compress or distort the huge voices required in Wagner operas. We were blessed in this project to use a remarkable, specially-calibrated custom microphone made available by Meyer Sound, one that captures dramatic voices as the theater audience hears them,” Jenkins said. “By every measure: voices, orchestra, drama, audience excitement, I truly feel that the 2013 production was the best Ring I produced in my 31 years with the company, so I’m thrilled that it will be preserved in this way.” Evans Mirageas, Artistic Director of Cincinnati Opera, produced the recording.
