Eric,

My colleagues made sure I knew what a big deal it was. It's pretty tiring to put on, also. The thing I most remember from my first Ring, was that everyone else had just finished recording the cycle, so they all knew it very well. Consequently, and uncharacteristicly, we had few rehearsals, so I felt pretty lost. I managed to hold my own though, and the next time through, I played principal on Siegfried and Goddamnitslong, I mean Gotterdammerung.

I have now played the Ring cycle 24 times. I have played third also now, and hope to someday play the bass part to get them all! I enjoy many parts of it, and think Gott is a masterpiece.

I encourage you all to watch this spring and next season as the Met mounts new productions which will be movie-cast live in HD to theaters around the country.

Cheers

Sean
