Washington 'Ring' cycle ends with riveting concert (AP)

This photo released by Washington National Opera shows conductor Philippe Auguin. Auguin conducts 'Gotterdammerung' by Richard Wagner. The Washington National Opera's presentation of Wagner's 'Goetterdaemmerung' — reduced by economic necessity from full production to concert version — made for a riveting afternoon of musical theater in its second and final performance Sunday. Credit goes first and foremost to Auguin, the outstanding conductor, and to a cast of singers led, in order of excellence, by bass-baritone Gidon Saks as Hagen, soprano Irene Theorin as Bruennhilde and tenor Jon Fredric West as Siegfried.
