Eric Owens appeared this Tuesday in  Das Rheingold as Alberich in PBS' broadcast of Wagner's Der Ring Des Nibelungen this week. It was the controversial Robert Lepage production at the Met Opera from this past season. Of course this is the role which has made Owens a force to be reckoned with and he was aboslutely brilliant in the role. However if anyone missed it all is not lost. Deutsche Grammophon released the entire Met Ring production on DVD this week. Here's the trailer for the DVD set: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKsroORVBBQ Sergio
