I am a metalhead. I listen to metal. This is awesome.

Just saw this from the Met, grand tier, very lucky we got the seats.

Unbelievably awesome. Anyone who hates "the machine" has never seen it working. Yes, creaks or whatever, but the music is unbelievable, it's SO much better than that stale older set, and the fire .... the fire is AWESOME! And the music when Brunnhilde wakes up? Unbelievable! Cameras everywhere, but not distracting or anything. Glad everyone who saw it in theaters liked it.

I saw Götterdämmerung a few days ago

I am a big Wagner fan

And I went to the met production from Das Reingold

Too bad enough I had to miss Die Walkure and Siegfried so I was very enjoyed to see this little piece on youtube

It isn't much but it's something

Lucky for me we had the possibility to go to Götterdämmerung where I heard this amazing voice of Jay Hunter Morris for the first time and it blew me away

his sound is just a little bit more special compared with others

Per the Met website the dates of the encore HD theatre showings of Siegfried and Gotterdammerung have not yet been determined. I suspect they may be planning to schedule all four close together.

[ChildFallenStar]

does anyone know if there will be and encore in 2012 for al four cause I mised them but desperatly want to find it..

I saw the symulcast and loved it. I am a Jay Hunter Morris fan for life. You just watch his career take flight. Good Luck to him.

I was in the Met audience on the 27th Oct performance of this opera about 7 or 8 rows from the front. Jay Morris sang intellligently so as not to overwhelm his fine tenor. All the others were good too and I disagree about Voigt. I thought she sang well. Per the production I can confirm there was laughter as the huge scene machinery creaked, crashed and boomed during onstage scene changes.

Je l'ai vu en direct d'un cinéma de ma ville qui proposait une retransmission, je ne peux qu'applaudir la performance, Le chanteur qui faisait le rôle de Mime était tout à fait extraordinaire, et Jay Hunter Morris fut aussi magnifique. Savez vous ce qui fait le plus "bizarre" à ceux que je cotoie? Un adolescent de quinze ans qui aime l'opéra, ils en conaissent peu, et aucun qui n'apprécie Wagner!
