Good luck with that. You do know that it's made up of four operas ranging between two and a half to four hours long don't you? But don't let me stop you, I don't listen to opera, but I still loved The Ring Cycle. Of course, I mostly loved it for the storyline, since the larger than life and super dramatic nature of opera seems perfectly suited to fantasy. So, I'd definitely suggest watching a film with subtitles rather than just listening to an album. You'll probably get a lot more out of it, especially if you don't really listen to opera in the first place.
