  • @Shogunmiyuchan It's not letting my post the link: Bayreuth, 2011, Akt 3, scene 5.

  • @UlfenDaddy link pls?

  • I don't think the audience quite liked that production...

  • that kitschy mise en scene deserved that booing awfully.

  • @windstorm1000 Oh it gets worse; check out the finale of the 2011 Lohengrin, but don't do so with a full stomach.

  • @UlfenDaddy Lets just all close our eyes and it will be great.

  • @JWPhoto Yes--the inmates are running the asylum. One can only wonder what Richard--let alone Cosima--would think. I appreciate your perceptive comment.

  • @UlfenDaddy Please don't tell me that---how could anything look worse than this??!! 

  • It doesn't get any worse than this. If Wagner had seen what his home theatre had done to T. he'd need a barf bag 10 minutes into the production. By all means make the Venusburg into a suburban hore house--take all the magic out!!!

  • @UlfenDaddy And I do agree that I see no reason why with the tremendous assets of technique, resources and skill Bayreuth has at their disposal to bring these works to Life, [she] would settle for what is patently and on-its-face something just UGLY (did you notice the fetal Duke of Brabant in Lohengrin?) But it's a stylistic choice part of a larger view; I too wait for the demons of Chereau finally to be removed from opera houses around the world.
