Scholars, musicians and musicologists describe how Wagner's Ring Cycle influences the way we think, feel and imagine the 21st century world.
How have The Ring themes and symbols permeated literature, philosophy, psychology, and even movies and cartoons? A panel of USC scholars, musicians and musicologists takes on the idea of the hero, violence and the cult of masculinity, "the mythic," the development of fascist theories (and governments), the power of the unconscious, the allure of death, and the mob.
No singing required. Mind-opening insights guaranteed.
The panel will be preceded at 6:30 p.m. by a USC Master of Liberal Studies Program admissions open house.
