The Arts Section 04/12/20: Lyric Opera Cancels RING Cycle + Quibi Preview

On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek talks to Lyric Opera president and CEO Anthony Freud about the company’s decision to cancel a years-in-the-making production of The Ring Cycle. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, will join me remotely to talk about our favorite stage to screen adaptations. A little later in the show, Gary pays tribute to singer-songwriter John Prine who passed away last week. And Gary catches up with RogerEbert.com assistant editor Nick Allen to talk about a new streaming platform that’s trying to stand out from the rest.
