Scottish Opera Ring Won’t Hit Disk

Last year’s acclaimed Scottish Opera production of Wagner’s Ring cycle is blamed for helping precipitate the company’s financial crisis. There was a recording made, but it appears the company isn’t likely to release it. “Making and releasing a recording of the Ring Cycle, with its four separate parts, would be a major undertaking in a shrinking market for new classical recordings. But it is clear that a recording would have been widely welcomed by opera fans in Scotland and worldwide.”
