Walküre examination from San Francisco Opera

A powerful god finds himself torn by conflicting loyalties in the second installment of Wagner's majestic Ring cycle, which features the famous "Ride of the Valkyries." Director Francesca Zambello gives this epic tale of an emotionally volatile father and his disobedient children a distinctly American touch while honoring its mythic roots. Donald Runnicles, whose command of Wagner's music "offers one of the city's most reliable musical thrills" (San Francisco Chronicle), conducts a world-class cast including two stunning sopranos: Nina Stemme, the sublime Senta of San Francisco Opera's The Flying Dutchman (2004), and Eva-Maria Westbroek, whose Wagnerian vocalism was called "outstanding" by London critics. Mark Delavan, hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as a "robust and commanding" Wotan in the 2008 Ring cycle opera Das Rheingold, continues the journey. "Prepare to be utterly amazed," raved the Washington DC Metro Weekly. "This is a supremely cohesive operatic and theatrical experience, a tremendously absorbing ride in which we thrill to Wagner's brilliant, evocative score while realizing just how relevant the work is to modern audiences. Time will fly like a Valkyrie on the wind."

In a segregated society in which minority writers and artists could find few ways to reach an audience, journalism gave them access to diverse U.S. communities. The original essays in this volume show how marginalized voices attempted to be heard in their day. The Black Press progresses chronologically from abolitionist newspapers to today's Internet and reveals how the black press's content and its very form changed with evolving historical conditions in America. The essays address the production, distribution, regulation, and reception of black journalism, illustrating a more textured public discourse, one that exchanges ideas not just within the black community, but also within the nation at large. The contributors demonstrate that African American journalists redefined class, restaged race and nationhood, and reset the terms of public conversation, providing a fuller understanding of the varied cultural battles fought throughout our country's history.
