Opera Preview: Opera Theater cycles through Wagner's epic

Post Gazette: "Over the past year, the Pittsburgh-based Opera Theater has been engaged in expanding that popularity. It has proliferated a condensed version of the epic by composer Jonathan Dove in an English translation by Andrew Porter that uses a smaller orchestra and reduces the 18-hour marathon to roughly 10 hours. It's the first time that the 'Ring' cycle in any version has been staged in Pittsburgh."
