Oh, Gad, another stupid Patrice Chereau flavored ideot production. "Its all about able to realize the intellectual realization"--Conlon, I though you had better sense!!! Look at these insane circus costumes--I can't even comment on them. Yes, Maestro Conlon, lets strip the ancient magic out!! I thought we could keep techno thug directors from USA opera. Sadly, they've invaded our shores. "We will be a Wagner house"--you mean other immortal works are going to be infected?! Fire Conlon!

@eliana84 IF Wagner is this great, then no production will kill him. Stop being stupid.

DER RING ORIGINAL - Thanks!!! Wagner WOW!!!!!!

Actually, you describe where most opera is at today! The vast majority of productions that you might go and see (of any opera) have people static and facing the audience delivering arias as if they are the only person on stage with no sets and no drama. It's rare to actually see anything dramatic these days and the skill of acting in an opera is pretty much dead

@paksushaman You only speak for dreary, old fashioned and tedious wagner fans..... Have you ever read any writing of his dealing with MUSIC DRAMA OF THE FUTURE? clearly no!

@campy101 BRAVO!

Wagner was a genius of the stage, why kill him in this way?

Yet, one is promted to think how amazing a production would be, using Wagner's original concept, but utilizing state of the art staging. I never said it had to be old and stilted, I simply feel that it can still be Wagner, but not have to look like a parody of Wagner. That's where the disconnect is. The story is basically mythological, yet we insist upon making it look like Star Wars.

Congratulations to LA Opera on a thrilling and beautiful production of the Ring Cycle. Last night I saw Gotterdammerung which marked the end (and I suppose literally) of Freyer's magical vision. I truly enjoyed all the operas. Bravo!

I couldn't disagree with all of you more. I find it enlightening that you all demean this telling of the ring without seeing it. I will tell you I did see it and it was phenomenal. I have seen a traditional staging of the ring and in the third act of the valkyrie I fell asleep. This ring is a stirring amalgamation of music and art, light and shadow. Exactly as Wagner intended.
