Crowd in Georgia presented with Wagnerian cycle? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gathering

'crowd' is the definition.
(a crowd of people)

'georgia presented with wagnerian cycle?' is the wordplay.
'georgia' becomes 'GA' (abbreviation for the US state).
'presented with' says to put letters next to each other.
'wagnerian cycle?' becomes 'TheRing' (the Ring cycle of operas by Richard Wagner).
'ga'+'thering'='GATHERING'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for gathering that I've seen before include "bee" , "Understanding - crowd" , "Sewing" , "convention?" , "Assembly or concentration" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
