  • very niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

  • Hi! If only people would read my comment entirely. I am after all trained in classic Shakepeare and love the language. Here is what I wrote that should have made you realize I love English, "We must not have it down-graded to one of the best languages that has produced the most and best literature in the world!" I think it's ridiculous people upset about opening up a classic to more people.

  • why does every one hate english so much?

    (and Im not trying to be a bitch I am honestly curious)

    A great many fine authors have written in english as well. No one objects when something origionally in english is translated into another language.

    I do see how its different with opera because the composer intended for the music to sound a certain way but I just want ot know why people seem to hate english in general.

  • well frankly if something promises to inject even the slightest bit of real culture in to the american main stream I can do nothing but support it.

    I dont doubt some things will get lost in translation but the music is still beautiful.

    As long as it is well performed I dont think it will be too much worse for having been made in english.

  • Depends on whether a German millionaire will cough up the money to fund it, like Peter Moores was willing to do... I dearly hanker after a 'traditional' setting, though - does it really need reinterpretation? I think not. The opera is as fresh as ever.

  • Grr classical masterpiece being mind for pop culture tripe! We must not have it down-graded to one of the best languages that has produced the most and best literature in the world! Such a shame when something is downgraded for the masses. How dare anyone re-interpret the master! That said I would love to see a German language one as well. It could happen, depends on the zeitgeist.

  • I really look forward to this. It could be seen as the English interpretation of a classic. It looks like he has really caught the whimsy and joy. Maybe others are worrying he hasn't caught the darkness. But that is inherit in fairy tales. As Heisenberg said Germans are big dreamers and dreams have dark and light, they are fantastic.

  • I have seen it. I would not say it is the best just because Ingmar is attached to it. It will be nice to see a fresh interpretation.

  • I would be so incredibly excited about this if it was in the original German.. the fact that it's in English makes me the complete opposite; I wish it had not been made.

    There is always something lost in translation and it is obvious from just this trailer that all of the charm of Shikaneder's words has been lost. How disappointing.

  • Ingmar bergman's is the best one.
