Many of those who sang that summer, including Roger Roloff as Wotan, Julian Patrick as Alberich, Barry Busse as Siegmund, and Johanna Meier as Sieglinde would return in the first cycle of the new Ring two years later. The 1984 Ring was produced by a team of two, the Norwegian tenor Ragnar Ulfung and Sheila Gruson, his assistant. This was the last year of the first Ring production of Seattle Opera, which had been seen annually since 1975. Seattle Opera only produced one Ring in 1984, and it was in German.
