@magpieonjupiter you are right. the opera really is metaphor--and this is the biggest one.

One word review...AMAZING!

Just a chick with a sheet over her? Come on!

I completely understand what you say - but she is the Mother of All - she knows Past, Present, Future.
Her face must not be shown I agree with that
How would you picture her in your mind?

Ingenius music - gives me goosebumps every single time

She's supposed to be an earth goddess--and here she looks like a street walker/bag lady (yes)--typical of Chereau to reduce ancient archetypes into trash. I'm not surprised--he's from France and doesn't understand German/Nordic mythology. He certainly never read of R. Wagner's stage diretions for his mammoth tetralogy. The wonder is that Wolfgang Wagner (Wagner's grandson) allowed Chereau carte blanche with this ideot--stripped--of magic production!!

I worship this scene :)
She looks like she needs extermination by Dean Winchester :p

Love this. I did not like Wagner a year ago, now I find him so irresistible
My favorite part of Das Rheingold. Such a warning to us all; unless we become more kind to Mother Earth we are all doomed.
I love this part of the Ring Cycle.

Yes, opera lovers we now have to look forward to Wotan being a corrupt businessman, Brunnhilde a vamp/motercycle queen, Freye a quarrelsome hausfrau. Now you honestly tell me: Would Richard WAgner be happy of what has happened to his mythic tetrology?? All together: "NEIN"
