Anna Russell did many wonderful parodies, but her best one was surely the thorough synopsis of Wagner's Ring Cycle. Presented here is the first part of this parody, "Das Rheingold".

Erda is the earth goddess (previously unknown to Woton and to us) who has ability to predict the future. So she suddenly appears (that is, rises out of the earth, sometimes only half -way, thus Erdas often is often seen as only as a toro) and warns him beware, don't grab the cursed ring (so Woton doesn't) -- BUT one of the giants does (and he is promptly killed by his brother the other giant)
Later (between operas 1 & 2 Woton produces many Valkyrie w/ her, which miffs his wife Erda --

@Orchestra2001 I get the Andrews Sisters, but not the Erda joke -- can you please explain that one?

I wonder how many of today's listeners get the allusions to The Andrew Sisters and "My Friend Irma (Erda), etc.?
part of what makes it so funny is her very proper, "hoity-toity" prissy accent, while making all these perfectly accurate observations in such an impudent way. It's amazing how many times you can hear it and still be totally convulsed with laughter.

I'm in a library and I might have to excuse myself to the ladies room to just laugh my *** off.

So sorry you misunderstood me - my fault entirely. You are quite right and that was exactly what I meant to say. Do please continue to enjoy opera - especially if you get the chance to hear that excellent Icelandic basso Kristinn Sigmundsson.

I wouldn't actually call it being disrespectful to opera. It's mostly funny because it's true! that's not being disrespectful :D
If anything her love for opera shows through clearly, and this piece has made me think "yeah, maybe I'd be interested in devoting 4 evenings into a single play"
So if anything this isn't demeaning to opera in the least, it's having fun with something you love, and you should because opera is great :D
