Richard Wagner - Das Rheingold: Einzug der Götter in Walhall - 2008 Zubin Metha Valencia

Spektakuläre Inszenierung von La Fura dels Baus.

[@KillerBunnyLight]

Ich liebe die Werke von Richard Wagner! 🤩

[@susannereitinger2276]

Das ist einfach nur großartig. Danke dafür.

[@ilovehifi]

Herzlichen Dank für das Einstellen dieses fantastischen Materials. Alle paar Monate komme ich hierher zurück, sehe es an und vergieße Tränen der Rührung. Unglaublich, mit welcher Kraft Wagner ausdrücken konnte. Allergrößte Kunst; mehr geht nicht. Zitat: "Verwünschte Nicker!".

[@useuroyen]

Absolut fantastisch! Eine der ganz wenigen Inszenierungen, von denen man sagen kann, sie verströmen in größtem Maße die Magie Wagners, erzeugen die größte denkbare poetische Faszination.

[@williamabel8485]

We saw this in school and the entire class could not stop laughing when Segway Guy came in.

[@juancar988]

Maravilloso espectáculo, una maravilla de Zubin Metha llevada a escena por La Fura dels Baus en Valencia, mi ciudad, donde tuve el honor de presenciar en directo ... Maravillosa versión !!!

[@d.wynhoff7529]

Bin über das anschauen dieser 4 Opern aus Valencia zu einem Wagner Fan geworden. !!

[@johnlamond4463]

The great Richard Wagner! A genius. The highest of German culture.

[@weissallessagtnix]

Die Rheingold DVD zur Valencia Inszenierung kann ich nur empfehlen.

[@jacquesaubin4454]

Fantastic! The Brass section kicked ass!

[@Muddymarry]

Ich kann nur jedem empfehlen, mal an den Ort des Geschehens, ins prächtige Mittelrheintal zu fahren. Da erhebt sich erst die Mystik von Wagners Meisterwerk. Abendlich strahlt der Sonne Auge, mit prächtiger Glut, strahlt glänzend die Burg!

[@SuperSchmudi]

Allerdings ... wohne nur paar Kilometer von Worms entfernt, wo das Rheingold immer noch gesucht wird :-)

[@LeRinkRat]

excellent singing. wierd staging. the players are all new to me BUT the Wotan, the Fricka and the Loge are pure. three of the best I have heard. personally I like the more traditional stagings like the Met Opera's 1990's versions by Otto Schenk. this one looks like an Opera version of a Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil production. still, it's the music abd the singing that really counts. thanx for posting, Reinhard62.

[@kurbiscremesuppe]

Das ende ist genial!

[@Michael-wn4jj]

This is what I would listen when could enter a space ship orbitting Earth.

[@user-pn7my2oz8t]

How wonderful...!!

[@MPKOE]

Wunderbar

[@carlosverdejomonfort9568]

Una maravilla de espectáculo visual, buena voces y una dirección impecable, un Wagner directo al corazón.

[@massluciano]

Amazing set design!

[@hen.pol1996]

Seit dem ich Alien Prometheus und Convenant gesehen haben setze ich dieses Stück mit dem bösen Droiden David gleich

[@eikemerch554]

Ja das stimmt

[@chipstern1]

Not surprising that Strictly By Hoyle Wagner diehards would bust a nut over the post-modern/sci-fi presentation. Having seen and enjoyed many traditional stagings, I found these abstractions very engaging, and apros pos to Wagner's mystical/mythological airs and aspirations. As for the final "ascent" to Valhalla, staged not as a stately parade up the mountain, but rather the Gods being enveloped by the airborne acrobats to be a very moving visual metaphor. But hey, that's why they make menus, huh? If we all liked the same things, wouldn't be much of a journey.

[@user-rj8kp9vf5e]

Ich liebe Wagner .

[@JimTLonW6]

I've often thought a Star Trek themed performance of Wagner would be interesting... Where's Mr Spock?

[@johnlamond4463]

Where’s Captain Kirk?

[@melvinschade]

I think David has a nice music feeling on the Covenant;)

[@brianshoman1723]

Where's Jean Luc Picard?

[@dirkmeyer3994]

Star Wars directed by Richard Wagner

[@Tigerofthenight]

There are some spectacular screen backgrounds in this production (eg descent to Nibelheim), but where are "The bridge leads you homeward, light, yet firm to your feet" and "Evening rays flood the skies with splendour. Those glorious beams shine there on my hall"? To do this to the final scene is not acceptable.

[@mariangelsmolpeceres5609]

Una gran produccion de La Fura ,muy espectacular y a la vez muy a mi gusto con un vestuario moderno pero acorde con lo escrito por Wagner Maria Angels Molpeceres

[@jmballestra7607]

Musique sublime !!! Mise en scène moderne et intéressante !!! J'aime beaucoup !!! Chanteurs remarquables aussi !!!

[@unclealand]

Cute. Next!

[@maelughran6981]

Wonderfully performed....but incongruous set design doesn't work for me I'm afraid. I agree with others - sticking to Wagner's unrivalled imagination and offering an interpretation on his original concept is what he would have had in mind surely. Mind you, we are privileged to witness this classic musical drama, premiered some 150 years ago! Thank you.

[@melenik53]

Agosto x Film&Arts "El Anillo del Nibelungo” , el grupo barcelonés La Fura del Baus - por estos días presentándose- en Argentina, mezcla música, danza, acrobacia y tecnología de manera increible, recomendable :) #eso

[@robertocontedecavalcanti4057]

Herrlich

[@mathildewesendonck7225]

Ist halt mal was anderes, ich find´s mutig und gar nicht schlecht. Das Schlußbild find ich sogar richtig gelungen, Walhall erschaffen aus lauter Menschenopfern... warum nicht?

[@Bernstein0801]

Oder als ein - aus Intrigen gesponnenes - Netz

[@adup01]

von allen Ring Inszenierungen, die ich kenne, die beste, mit Abstand. Behaupte allerdings auch nicht, ein Wagnerainer zu sein

[@vonstolzing1]

Amazing

[@franciscourrra7624]

Ay compadre, dort hätte ich sein müssen.

[@dgbx6]

I hate the cumbersome costumes and the makeup of Wotan, but I think some visual ideas are brilliant. - the Gods having to be lifted my minions operating machines. They have no real power in themselves and are completely unaware of their situation. The walk to Valhalla, to me, is also really brilliant. - The music portrays nothing but triumph, but we know darned well from the murder of Froh, and the lament of the Rhinemaidens that it's not going to be really a happy ending for the gods. So Valhalla is depicted by acrobats, - Wotan's army of dead hero's we learn about in Die Walkure. The army defending the 'fortress' open's it's doors to enclose the God's, and then closes on them. But instead of a vision of safety, we see them looking through their 'fortress', absolutely, ridiculously exposed, - which in fact, they are. It's a ironic vision of futility, - which the audience, if it has done its homeword, already knows.

[@jackal59]

3:46 - Hail to thee, my triple husbandoid! 4:38 - Ooh, a Dalek! Oh, wait.

[@jackal59]

What's worse is that the singers seem really uncomfortable with the mechanical devices their forced to interact with. Donner looks apprehensive-I bet a stagehand has brought that boom down hard a time or two-, and Loge clearly is having to think about controlling the Segway. That can't be good for performance.

[@Dianolabunas]

Die Musik ist genial, die Qualität der Aufnahme auch. Das Bühnenbild ist zwar aufwendig aber nicht nach dem Geschmach eines Wagnerianers.

[@mariangelsmolpeceres5609]

Realment Espectacular tot L Anell fet per La fura dels Baus a Valencia Maria Angels Molpeceres Marti

[@mathildewesendonck7225]

Mir fällt jetzt erst auf, nach gefühlten 50 mal Anschauen, daß das Schaubild ja auch einen Ring darstellt, wo die Götter hineinmarschieren.

[@ironwhistle3]

Hab ich auch erst nach einer gewissen Zeit begriffen. Doch das Bühnenbild ist auch dann noch hässlich anzuschauen.

[@al-hakimbi-amrallah5404]

Mathilde Wesendonck du bist des wahnsinns, bei der qualität de bühnenbildes kein wunder.... nach 50 mal wäre ich auch nicht mehr bei sinnen.

[@olpe52]

Großartig!

[@telephilia]

I'm always suspicion of these Regietheater productions rather than expressing new artistic vision that they really are just trying to cut corners on their budget. Loki on a Segway is a bit much.

[@kbhprinsesse]

All they are trying to do is to destroy beautiful works of art, hoping to be seen as "innovative" or at least "shocking". It's disgusting.

[@tarzanpony]

I say sorry in name of Valencian people (where this production company comes from) for disgracing so much opera performances around the world.

[@cleopatrablack1208]

lots of People don't understand wagners intensions and the Spirit of his whole opus

[@mucfan]

Nein, dass ist wunderbar und universel

[@al-hakimbi-amrallah5404]

mucfan da spricht ein primitiver geist

[@saschahehn707]

Über Geschmack lässt sich nicht streiten, über die Arroganz und Anmaßung von Eduard ebenso wenig. Aber Herablassung kommt ja eh meist aus vorgeschwindelter Höhe.

[@jacquesaubin4454]

stuff a sock in it. this is awesome.

[@mc00bain]

The conductor's name is spelled Mehta, not Metha

[@dvorakslavenskiples]

Ist das Rheingold auf dem Mars?

[@Tigerofthenight]

The rather scruffy Wotan, who has been eating too many pies, looks like he had a fight with the producer. "The night is near, from all its ills, we have our refuge now......" (where is the frigging castle?)....stage opens to a bunch of extras dangling on ropes. WTF? Surprising that Fricka can be heard with that hoodie on.

[@JamesBrown-ux9ds]

'Auch durch das Bühnenbild psychologisch sehr treffend und richtig umgesetzt', 'die Macht ist am besten geteilt und gebunden, und Bewegung widerfährt ihr', so muss man wohl sagen.

[@Tigerofthenight]

May Valencia never stoop so low again.

[@rocaranzaz]

Excelente trabajo.-

[@VallaMusic]

we can't destroy the sublimely powerful music, so let's screw with every other aspect in the hopes that people may finally stop paying attention to the music's spiritual greatness (and the great Germanic cultural universe from which it was birthed)

[@noirvalentin]

Who is the singer as Wotan?

[@mc00bain]

The staging is generally absurd (though I like the airborne acrobats) but the conducting, orchestra and singing are all first rate.

[@brianshoman1723]

I can understand Cirque de Solei using this music as a part of their performance, I am just confused as to why the staging of the opera is now so abstract only phd students in postmodernism can understand it.

[@operacat1]

Would you like to submit your designs for a production of DAS RHEINGOLD? I would be interested to see them!

[@englishmutton]

Comment section will be full of "I'm here because of Alien: Covenant."

[@fabster899]

englishmutton i'm here because of alien covenant

[@al-hakimbi-amrallah5404]

Fab ster me kind of i have loved the music for a long time now and was shocked by the psychopath robot who liked it too. Am I a psycho robot?!

[@CDz-zr6hk]

i'm here because of alien covenant....great film btw

[@telephilia]

If a Hollywood sci-fi film exposes more people to Wagner, I'm OK with that.

[@marsal7999]

here!

[@kbhprinsesse]

I have rarely seen anything as ridiculous as this! And I have been going to the opera for almost 30 years!

[@ilovehifi]

Even THIS is the problem!

[@OberstMadig]

Über Kostüm und Bühnenbild kann man streiten - aber Loge ist stimmlich einfach zu "nett" - das fiese und hinterhältige fehlt da.

[@ironwhistle3]

Schön gesagt. Die Inszenierung ist in der Tat grauenvoll. Die Sänger sind fantastisch wie auch das Orchester. Schade um den Aufwand für das Bühnenbild. Manchmal wäre weniger mehr.

[@leaobrasileiro7559]

[@cinziavidali411]

Prächtige Inszenierung

[@coo1day]

Царь в голове

[@josecarvalho2869]

Lindíssimo!

[@FabioPBarbieri]

As a matter of fact, I am an amateur artist, and I could come up with something. I know a thing or two about the difficulty of getting anything accepted, though (my brother-in-law is an opera stage designer) and I don't need the grief. But if you want to see a few sketches, get in touch.

[@424dsfdsfdsfs]

Most of comments is stupid crap - the people did not see the full-time almost 3 hrs piece. The production is awesome and mind-blowing. I am not a fan of modern theatre because it's often made poorly. But this one is very different.

[@Jaydoggy531]

I will compliment the actual athletics and the choreography. It's beautifully done but it's like a great set for the wrong show. I think if this director is interested in a "new" vision, maybe they should just promote new playwrites and composers instead?

[@kendalson7100]

Wagner meets Cirque de Soleil. Whatevs.

[@nikodemus7777]

Das is keine Inszenierung, das is billiger Klamauk! Könnte glatt auf RTL2 oder PRO7 gesendet werden...

[@ilovehifi]

Ich empfehle einen Deutschkurs.

[@MonastraOperaSymphonyClassical]

Who is the conductor. Too slow. The breaths thought in the score remain as musical gaps between phrase and phrase. It's terrible when conductors don't think about something so basic.

[@Johannludwigamadeus]

Ist doch schön, dass Wagner eine derartige Fülle an Kreationen aufzurufen vermag!!

[@PVDM94]

Das ist modern. Aber das sind die Götter. Es zu tun, was sie wollen !

[@homestar2112]

8:15 BAßPOSAUNE!

[@guynungagap4617]

Je trouve qu'ils jouent toujours/souvent la fin trop lentement 7:50. Essayez en 1,25 de vitesse, ça marche mieux. C'est assez pompeux, ça n'a pas besoin d'être ennuyeux. De plus, le jouer trop lentement comme ils font bousille le thème de l'arc en ciel, qui ne ressemble plus à rien. Dans la version de 1955 de Joseph Keilberth (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZiuo2eBaLt3rM0), le tempo et la dynamique me semble meilleure.

[@lupefels]

Was wollt ihr eigentlich?Maoam?

[@josef.ventura2927]

jajajajajajaja

[@FabioPBarbieri]

Spektakulaere was? The producer is in dire need of a long stretch of unemployment. I could pick fifty illiterate guys from the unemployment queues and come up with fifty better versions of this scene - and this bastard has been paid how much, for it?

[@donreed2609]

If you love Wagner, why would you even watch this? It's like watching electrical wires being repaired after a wind storm.

[@user-hs4qs7kp3e]

발뮈레

[@UlfenDaddy]

I pray I live to see the day we get past the "Cult of the UGLY" in Opera setting. Gawd knows how much they spent to make this production look stupid... for starters, how about turning on some of the dang LIGHTS? What is this 40+ year obsession with dark staging? Put up some SETS! OK make them futuristic, alien even, but light it up! Show us! Nor am I any fan of Mehta; this quality of orchestra and singers has no choice but to be "good," but that's all it is. Slow, tendentious as boring.

[@tomasramirez7563]

El set es basura

[@Leoptxr]

What the fuck

[@sybillenova1465]

Reminds me of the song "WE'VE GOT THE GOLD"by my friend NICO.Somehow,her soul needed to take a trip on the wild BOURBON side in France..where I met her first in 1971 when she was giving a concert at BEAUX ARTS,Paris. She was/is a true GODDESS ...neither Germany nor France (they put her on heroin in France ) nor the US really could /can make sense of LIVING GODS and LIVING GODDESSES...they drag them into the gutter out of pure jealousy. ..and then put their New Age gurus with their endless selfhelp books on the throne next to pornstars and other idols financed and pushed into power by certain DEEP STATE MAFIA bosses ... In the old days,we had KING LUDWIG II of BAVARIA ..a genius himself with a mind and consciousness so advanced that they could only stop him by declaring him"mentally ill"by the age of 47 ....

[@ctfamily40]

I was just thinking exactly the same thing.

[@jgesselberty]

Gods of music, preserve us from this techno-trash.

[@nietzschean3138]

What the fuck is this? Star Trek the opera?

[@sgsmozart]

Awful!

[@zentkd4525]

This Froh tenor's rendition of German vowels is a bit irritating to listen to.

[@robertsaley5989]

witless

[@roberttillman8872]

Foolish production.

[@robertberger4203]

There have been there productions in recent years, especially at Bayreuth , which were far more ridiculous . This one doesn't even come even remotely close to the idiocy of other Eurotrash productions .

[@alexadc847]

No. Seriously, just no. This is as visually unappealing as the Met Ring.

[@rodom555]

horrible

[@Xenophon1]

What a terrible job of scenery design.

[@jorgenlundberg5289]

Ugly costumes!

[@leofcpm]

Both the singing and the production were ABSOLUT GARBAGE!
