He was preparing a new production of the Ring in the 2019/20 season, which sadly was never realized in its entirety due to the coronavirus pandemic. Maestro Davis used the forced shutdown of the pandemic to pursue a different colossal endeavor: an original translation of Virgil's Aeneid from Latin into English.
