The J. Paul Getty Museum, in collaboration with the LA Opera, will offer “Illuminating German Art and Opera,” bringing together scholars of art and music to explore the connections between the Getty exhibition German and Central European Manuscript Illumination and LA Opera’s production of two Richard Wagner masterpieces, Das Rheingold and Die Walküre, the first two installments of the Ring cycle. The day includes lectures by LA Opera’s music director James Conlon, Getty scholar Henrike Manuwald, and UCLA professor Mitchell Morris, guided gallery tours with museum educators, and a recital with pianist Catherine Miller, soprano Kathleen Roland, and tenor Robert MacNeil. The program will take place on Saturday, March 21, from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. at the Getty Center. The course fee is $60; $30 for students/seniors. Visit www.getty.edu.
