Wagner's Ring Cycle Genealogy

So my PBS station aired the production of Wagner's Ring Cycle by the Met and Lepage this week. I've never seen any of the Ring, so if course I stayed up every night to some ungodly hour watching. The character relationships in this thing were so astoundingly convoluted that my genetics education just sprang up and made me create a pedigree chart for them. Forget family trees. These people have a family wreath.

Also included are quick and dirty summaries of the four operas and a few amusing notes.

Enjoy my weird compulsions.
