About this event

Community Conversations

Community Conversations uses opera to discover our shared humanity, on and off the stage. We invite the culturally curious to explore the “here and now” implications of productions in a series of events featuring live music and stimulating conversation. No prior opera knowledge necessary!

Community Conversation: Forging Inspiration

Step into the mythical world of Wagner’s The Ring of the Nibelung with Lyric Opera of Kansas City and Apple Country Club Plaza. Through lively discussion and visual exploration, attendees will journey through the rich tapestry of gods, heroes, and mythical creatures that inhabit this timeless saga. Following the narrative exploration illuminated by Arthur Rackham’s illustrations, unleash your creativity in a drawing workshop led by the Today at Apple team. Whether you're a seasoned opera aficionado or new to Wagner's masterwork, this event promises to be a crucible of creativity.
