Spotlight on the RING: 🌿
GREER GRIMSLEY as WOTAN

We're getting excited for our broadcast of Seattle Opera's 2005 Ring cycle on KING FM! Broadcasts include Das Rheingold (10 AM 2/6), Die Walküre (7PM 2/9), Siegfried (7PM 2/11) and Götterdämmerung 10AM 2/13). To listen, tune in to Classical KING FM 98.1 or king.org. Today, we're highlighting bass-baritone Greer Grimsley.

"Wagner often writes characters with self-pity, but Greer cannot do that. So when he sings Wagner, he brings full human complexity to the role—his characters have an immense character arc. It's so hard to sum up Greer's charisma, which is palpable. It exudes from him when he makes the smallest sound, when he walks into the room. He's such a grounded, normal man—no star's ego. But his voice is like...Mount Rainier. There's a sublime awesomeness to the power of his voice." — Seattle Opera Dramaturg, Jonathan Dean

This short from 1924 reminded me of Siegfried making his way up the Rhine to the land of the Gibischung.
