AlpineK Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 I'm proud to say I've never been to an opera. Having a root canal sounds like a better option. On the other hand my parents love that crap. They've been to the ring-ding a bunch. All I can say is enjoy that 19th century dying art form...sucker Kill the Quote
marylou Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 Seeing The Ring performed live is the experience of a lifetime. I think if I were to recommend one of the four shows, I'd go with Rheingold, though my personal fave is Gotterdamerung. The overture for Rheingold is considered by many to be the most beautiful piece of music ever written. Gives me chills! Quote
Dechristo Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 Just goes to show even mentally-disturbed anti-semites can make beautiful music...at times; some of it is too dark for me. Quote
Stonehead Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 (edited) As I understand, the gatherings at Bayreuth to hear the Wagnerian operas were a cultural phenomenon to celebrate the idea of a Teutonic golden age. It was serious shit. Link to Wikipedia article on Bayreuth. Edited July 8, 2005 by Stonehead Quote
