@andreaandrewmilne This opera has little to do w 19th cent. capitalism except of human greed--there are differ's & they are spelled out in hist.books. Just because there is aglimmer of an idea in an opera doesn't give us the permiss. to exploit it. Other themes-redemption, Gods, paganess--petty splendour of regimes? Beyond me. Metaphors are stretched too far. Lets put Wotan in a 19th cent. mansion because he likes gold? C'mon! We agree to disagree--but I'm closer to the opera's intentions.

B & C took the context of Wagner's writing, 19th C Capitalism, and made explicit in costumes and staging what is implicit in the music-drama. Here is a rising bourgeoisie aping the rococo splendour of an Ancien Regime - graciousness removed from messy profit and accumulation. This obliviousness to fate of Old France under the kiss of Mdm Guillotine neatly parallels the blindness of the gods to their fate after Wotan's crookedness. Economics and politics influence the meaning of art.

It's always funny to read bigoted comments. Don't like modern interpretation? Ignore it and stay in you oh so holy mythological niche.
Thanks, Chereau/Boulez, for producing one of the best Ring ever. *bows*

Fortunately, not even Chereau or the other techno director apes can destroy the magnificence of Wagner's music. They try though.

I am SO glad you posted this. I've been living on my memory of how much I'd loved Heinz Zednik as Loge & was beginning to wonder if I'd overestimated. NO! He is as absolutely weird, magical and perfect in the role as I had remembered! Many, many thanks!
