Free LA Opera Talk at the library May 22
Norman Cadman from the LA Opera Speakers Bureau will hold a multi-media presentation on The Perfect Wagnerite: The Ring a la George Bernard Shaw at 2 p.m. May 22 inside the Claremont Public Library.
"Richard Wagner intended his 'Ring of the Nibelung' to be the epic tale of the salvation of the world through redemption by love, writ large by gods, giants and humans," according to a library news release. The Ring, Shaw interpreted, was a metaphor for the Industrial Revolution and Cadman will discuss the connection between the "revolutionary German romantic artist and the cynical Irish critic."
The presentation is free and sponsored by the Friends of the Claremont Library. The library is at 208 N. Harvard Ave.
