WAGNER’S ‘RING’, TOLKIEN’S ‘LORD OF THE RINGS’ AND THE FILM
For many years, fans of J.R.R. Tolkien’s book The Lord of the Rings swept aside any suggestion that it was based on Richard Wagner’s four-opera Ring cycle. Tolkien himself scoffed at the idea. Yet, in the wake of Peter Jackson’s blockbuster film trilogy, more and more people saw The Lord of the Rings as a profoundly Wagnerian blend of epic myth and powerful music. Presented by Heath Lees.
