The opera director who broke so much new ground in Los Angeles with the Industry will direct a new production of Wagner's 'Ring' cycle in New York.
The Metropolitan Opera has announced that Yuval Sharon — co-founder of the revolutionary Los Angeles opera company the Industry — will direct a new production of Wagner’s 'Ring' cycle beginning in 2028, culminating in the full four-opera cycle in 2030. Sharon also will direct a new production of Wagner's 'Tristan und Isolde' in 2026. An opera company’s stature, and even an art capital’s cultural repute, can rise or fall depending upon its ability to mount a “Ring” cycle.
Phil produced noteworthy Sharon stagings of Lou Harrison’s “Young Caesar,” Meredith Monk’s “Atlas” and John Cage’s ”Europeras 1 & 2” — bringing into the repertory three of the most important and influential neglected American operas that companies hadn't dared to touch. Will the significance of the Met poaching Sharon be a wake-up call for L.A.
