Strange production but this clip includes some of the most beautiful music ever composed. Last night, at the opening of the new production of Das Rheingold at the Met, I was wiping away tears as the Rhinemaidens sang wonderously of their gold.
I love this Rheingold. Having seen it many times in Bayreuth, at least we can laugh our asses off here, knowing it's all so silly, those damned goofey Rhein-bitches and that Clown pretending to be Pagliacci. CAN ONE IMAGINE A COMPOLETE RING LOOKING LIKE THIS????? Boggles the mind. And the acting? Nahhhh, just joking. That's just some 'swimming chicks' trying to learn how to swim.
That is certainly not what I meant but you do have a point. It just looks cheaply done and tacky and in my opinion a misinterpretation of the composers original intentions.
How many phantoms of operas are there in this world and how many still to come.
This whole evening I keep advertising Anna Russell(here on the Tube) yes, that woman in the pink chiffon drag: EvErYbOdY wants to sing opera, don't we?
Her Ring story couldn't be better told by Cosima herself.
Not in the Met/Levine DVD or the Bayreuth/Boulez DVD. Those Alberichs are more angry than pathetic. Of course, without seeing the rest of the Bangkok production I won't know if there are justifications behind such a depiction of Alberich.

Extraño montaje. Me parece novedoso, pero no me agrada por completo. Recomiendo la versión de James Levine con Sigfried Jerusalem como Loge.

This is making me choke on my own vomit. I used to think that one couldn't fuck up something like this. I guess I'm wrong.

Richard Wagner wanted to compose an Opera about Buddha. I read somewhere the title had been the Victor.

oh and while I'm at it I must point out that the costume design stinks and the set design is terrible and not very user friendly!

Not bad these Rheinmaidens. How come Alberich looks so pathetic?

This is musical just after him chasing the Rheintochters. So...after so much misery, you would look pathetic too, I guess...
