The forging scene has to e very active to work - Siegfried is reforging the sword after all. Some productions have Siegfried standing around doing nothing - or have hammering sounds coming from the opposite side of the stage. At least this production followed Wagner's stage directions!

What a great Mime!

I bet Siegfried Jerusalem was pretty darn tired after this performance.

@glenfagelfors musically--but not visually

Wonderful traditional/minimalist production--you won't find this at wretched Bayreuth--where garbage can sets and businessmen Wotans rule with imported 'directors'
-
do you have full this version of the ring of the nibelung?
-
I love how the guy who plays Siegfried name is Siegfried Jerusalem, like he was destined to take the role as Siegfried
-
I love his "hoho's" and "hahei's!"

@100yearoldWhiskey Levine's tempo is just fine. As long as the performance captures Wagner's intent and character, the performance is good. After all, that is what the performance is for.

@amm1t5 Thank you!

too bad you never saw any of the Ring live! Go to Bayreuth. my father sang Mime with Sebastian conducting in Lyon Opera. I knew the whole scene by heart, but unfortunately I cannot sing.
