"LA Opera has joined forces with Los Angeles’ cultural and educational institutions to stage the first significant citywide cultural festival since the 1984 Olympic Arts Festival.

LA Opera’s new production of Richard Wagner’s Ring Cycle made possible by THE ELI AND EDYTHE BROAD FOUNDATION with additional generous support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and LA Opera’s Friends of the Ring Leadership Council."

Lufthansa (hence the anachronistic airplane in the Ring Cycle?)
