Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los AngelesPhoto by Lisa HirschThe Los Angeles Philharmonic has performances of Wagner's Das Rheingold later this month, and gosh, the cast looks great. (Which of these singers will be in the next San Francisco Opera Ring bring-up? Place your bets now.) There was a point when I would have said "this is in advance of a Paris Opera Ring, but we can't know whether any future Paris Ring productions will be conducted by Dudamel, who is no longer the music director there.)I can't get there, but presumably others can.
