Editing Seattle Opera (section)

====''Ring'' 3, 2000–2013====
Jenkins engaged a new creative team to conceive Seattle Opera's third ''Ring'' production, which was unveiled in 2000 (''Das Rheingold'' and ''Die Walküre'') and 2001 (full cycle) and returned in 2005, 2009, and 2013. Director [[Stephen Wadsworth]], set designer Thomas Lynch, costume designer [[Martin Pakledinaz]], lighting designer [[Peter Kaczorowski]] created a production which became known as the "Green" ''Ring'', inspired in part by the natural beauty of the [[Pacific Northwest]]. Armin Jordan returned to conduct in 2000, Franz Vote in 2001, and [[Robert Spano]] in 2005 and 2009. The 2013 production, conducted by Asher Fisch, was released as a commercial recording on compact disc and on iTunes. The productions starred singers such as [[Greer Grimsley]], [[Stephanie Blythe]], [[Ewa Podleś]], [[Jane Eaglen]], Richard Paul Fink, [[Margaret Jane Wray]], and [[Stephen Milling]].
