Seattle Opera presents this production of the Ring in the company's new, state-of-the-art home, Marion Oliver McCaw Hall. The hall opened in 2003 to great acclaim from national and international music critics: "a new space for music theater that is likely to serve as inspiration and a standard in the industry."
