  • lamusicahera, If you praise Domingo as Lohengrin, that explains everything about your comments. They can not be taken seriously!

  • Come on, you people - what can you understand about the production from these clips? No chance of understanding what's going on, but see the whole thing before kneejerk response.

  • @portoxali Sorry I meant to hit the thumbs up :( I totally agree with you---for the sake of his wonderful music I will watch these modern interpretations but end up tuning out the video but I have loved the the Ring Cycle in Valencia staged by La Fura Dels Baus--Zubin Mehta conducting and Nikolaus Lehnhoff's direction of Parsifal starring Christopher Ventris etc.

  • Yet another steaming pile of shit from people who obviously despise Wagner but insist on staging his works. I'll retire to bedlam!

  • Poor Wagner. How absurdly low performers have to fall in order to call themselves modern? Disgusting!

  • Die Inszenierung ist zum Abgewöhnen. Zwischen Kitsch und romantischer Werktreue besteht natürlich ein Unterschied, nämlich der "heilige Ernst". Der ist eben so unzeitgemäß, dass man ihn zulassen sollte, und erfordert, dass man sich auf etwas einlässt.

  • vaya, ya que muestran al cisne, almenos se acordaron de ponerle el collar, algo es algo

  • Yes, some of the productions at the Bavarian State Opera can get rather nutty, but after years of MET Opera kitsch and mindless stage-junk, anything is better. Swan boats? Yes, I haven't seen one of those for sale in years......

  • @TheTristan1954

    Bayreuth should be easier for him since it's a better sound theater.

    Kaufmann is not a specially big voice singer, I have listened to him in zurich opera house and royal opera house, the volume was ok, but not big really. if he has to sing lohengrin, it's good to do it carefully.

  • @amfortas1978 maybe that's why Kaufmann sings the Lohengrin in Bayreuth now ?

  • @lilloboss better than bad does not mean good!

    Thank God for the singers in this ugly production.

  • IMO all those modernistic staging ruin the whole innermost Wagnerian concepts that stem from sacred medieval mythical archetypes.
