Customer Reviews
Die Walkure
I like the new Ring productions--very much--have seen the new productions twice.
Cast is outstanding vocally. To think the whole thing happened (!) over a dispute about real estate.
Sub-titles
Please, please put sub-titles in. I want so much to enjoy
How many ways can you say awful?
Awful production. Awful photography. Awful singing. Bryn Terfel looked fat and sounded tired. Jonas Kauffman was weak and the hag playing Brunhilde was just…awful. The orchestra was great. Everything else was…wait for it…AWFUL.
