I posted an article previously mentioning the showing of this
film in conjunction with San Francisco "Ring" performances this
summer.  I've been deluged (to put it mildly) with requests for
more info.  Here it is.

The film will be shown on June 20 (I believe 8 PM) in Herbst
Theater on Van Ness in San Francisco (across the street from
City Hall).  Tickets are $10.  Seating is still available in
orchestra, dress circle, and the balcony.  You can phone and
charge by credit card (415) 864-3330.

As I mentioned previously, the soundtrack has been made up from
various recordings of orchestral excerpts of various Wagner operas.
The majority of the music is from the "Ring" itself, but there
are sections from "Lohengrin" and "Parsifal".  The real challenge
for my friend, who made up the original track for his own 
enjoyment, was finding recordings that had the particular sections
he wanted WITHOUT voices (since he felt that voices would have
been intrusive to the film).

I'm letting this go for worldwide distribution because I've been
told that tickets for the Ring itself have been bought by people from
around the world who will be travelling here for this event.
