This was awesome! I just watched the Ring cycle for the first time recently and these almost made those 16 hours worth it ;)

Woah, this silly git grind my ears =p
That's a stroke of dramatic genius hon, unlike... playing dumb. That's a cheap comedy gimmick. At least they didn't end up at the top of a volcano fighting a crippled dwarf. THAT's stupid and random ;)

She's amazing! Wagner wouldn't see it how his opera should make people laugh!
-
I love it! So many opera plots are totally ridiculous and this parody is so well-observed. This and the Bugs Bunny version of the Ring are immortal classics.

@KuroKakumei anna russle read about her on wikipedia. "Anna Russell: The (First) Farewell Concert" "Singer-comedienne Anna Russell sinks her chops into some of the opera world's tastiest sacred cows in this farewell concert filmed live in 1984 inside Baltimore's Museum of Art." she didnt perform for many years after this. Victor Borge kept right on touring till the age 91 when he passed away. I saw him live when he was 90 and 91 years old. he didnt die on stage but still he was FUNNY!!!

WARNING: the repackaged album "Sings" & "Sings again" as the ANNA RUSSEL ALBUM, released on cd and store bought tape, has a few things missing and the sound quality on vinyl, tape and cd is questionable. STILL IT IS FUNNY IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND IT at first...

Magnificent.

Always enjoyed listening to Anna Russel. Always good for a very hilarious laugh. She brightens my day when ever I hear her.

"I'm not making this up, you know!"
Anna Russell was brilliant. It's sad that she died recently. She will be missed.

Probably she understood the RING much better than 90% of today's directors ... I know this for decades, but it's still so good! Thanks for sharing it!
