Wonderful production--had the courage to be 'traditional'-- in a garbage can set age. Nice for the audiences.

@kamion53 from what I heard, Wagner's depiction of the dragon was more literary in nature, the despicable appearance supposed to represent the evil culminated in Fafnir. It was basically depicting Fafnir as a vile and disgusting creature, truly terrifying without being magnificent as dragons have been depicted as of late

This is Shelob from "Lord of the Rings"!

Horn=Win!

I've been told that this is the origin of John Williams Star Wars theme but I'm not sure. If it is, I do hear some subtleties.

Pésima actuación del Sigfried... La música es excelente...

Very true. The last one I saw was some strange looking guy with a Flak cannon... I mean come on :D

@ClassicFrenchHorn Sorry for my sarcasm... I misunderstood what you meant by "poor" horn player! All is well!
ah come on thats complete nonesense.
if you would really appreciate the music you would ignore the fact that politicians of a later age abused his music for their purpose - who cares if he was, indeed antisemitic? i certainly do not and thats why i love the music without a bad conscience.
easy as that

for the time Wagner takes to build up one emotion before coming to the next, the actual fight with the dragon is short and quick,.
btw this is a creepy dragon, more a giant spider... good!
