I'm no Wagnerian expert but, as a 48 year old Opera student and singer I find this production refreshing, interesting and very well done! The constrasts between the crazy happy and morbid sisters and brunhilde is amazing and helpful to understand the drama soon to unfold.

Well, they are death messengers like the Crows of the Battle field and they know the soldiers are going to live in Valhalla so they're cheerful about death. Wish they were in the traditional armor though. (sigh). But they can sing! Wow-slam those high notes!

I like this staging because these alcohol fuelled Valkyries are so decadent. The world that they live in is decadent and destined to be destroyed in Gotterdammerung. Even if there is redemption through Brunhilde's sacrifice in the end , all the characters have a dark underside. I enjoyed the moment when the set rotated and we saw more Valkyries on the roof. Musically the scene is a masterpiece and requires great discipline from everyone. Wagner composed it to give the impression the Valkyries are singing over each other sometimes with overlapping entries and that continues through the act. I would have loved to see this production.

Lots of people there don't bseem to grasp the consistency of the costume design. The aesthetic is European 1940s (World War II era) Look up gowns in that time and you'll see these ones in the play with opera gloves. The blood, front split and under trousers match well enough as a variation on the classic look. And their short brunette hair was also in vogue at the time. Basically look up Queen Elizabeth as a princess

All though I find this production a detestable confusion of music, theme, costume, and setting, there are some elements of this scene and the way it was recorded that I find intriguing. I really wish they weren't drinking and looting, but I do like the idea of the bodies. I also like the overall design and the way everything comes together visually. The jump shots and close-ups add interest. And, I really can't complain about the music, either. Not too bad a concept here in the end, I guess.

So the valkyries are angels... and the dead soldiers from WWII? Is that why it's controversial?
@MrOpera539 жыл бұрын
Samuel Pérez García Nope, it's controversial because of everything else. Some of the stage directions were changed, like Sieglinde pulling Notung out instead of Siegmund, and Hunding actually surviving. Das Rheingold is also kinda bloody with Alberich having his arm chopped off by Wotan. And I don't think some people liked the feminist take on the whole thing, since this Ring Cycle really centers around Brunhilde. This entire Ring is available here for viewing.

Das war er gar nicht, ihn interessierten die hanebüchen übertriebenen Inszenierungen seiner Zeit, von denen er sich seine Parteitagsmassenaufzüge abschaute. Seinetwegen hätten es auch Stummfilme sein können. Sein Musikgeschmack war eher seichte Operette, wie Lehars Lustige Witwe.That wasn't him at all - he was only interested in the outrageously exaggerated productions of his time, from which he copied his parteitag mass parades. For his sake, it could have been silent movies. His taste in music was rather shallow operetta, like Lehar's Merry Widow.
