For perhaps the most ambitious project in its famed history, the Metropolitan Opera commissioned visionary director Robert Lepage to stage a new production of Richard Wagner's four part Ring cycle, arguably the greatest work of art ever created and twenty-five years in the making.  Shot over five years, Susan Froemke's documentary captures the unprecedented challenges of bringing Lepage's electrifying production to life.  Featuring such opera luminaries as Deborah Voigt, the film is a rare and engrossing look at the artistic process.
