Das Rheingold
Rheingold - Wagner
What comes one of Wagner's mind?
pathos? For sure!
And so much - sometimes a little too much - the passion and exuberance and, above all, half-forgotten gods and antagonists almost the same cry for feather dusters and modernization, may appear to some obvious.
but it turns to the question of whether the almost minimalist staging Rheingold by the Freiburg Theater still falls within the range of tolerability. In order to meet
the structure of constructive criticism, here are the two positive comments included - to the beginning so that they are not to check off more later:
wonderful orchestra, great Singer!
(If the latter, unfortunately, seemed to thaw after a good fifteen minutes.)
That's was.
And these are raw materials.
Let's start with the technology:
Our theater is poor!
That's all going through my head when a piece for hours, four images are to pass under the same illumination (mind you a rather less original) appears.
One gets the idea, the person in charge would have pushed the switch, then to fill ten more jobs have to.
robbery, conspiracy and murder had to say without twilight, focus or just get by some ever so slight change in lighting.
But that can be necessary . Live
that has accumulated after the Christmas days in the theater so much garbage, that resources must be symbolized even by bags carried the play throughout redeployed twice completely from A to B and from B to C - Under a reasonable rustling - is unnerving. As a high school student shot while
me involuntarily extremely socially critical ideas, such as "consumption" or "uniformity" with the head, which have to do with Wagner's Rheingold, but I remained a mystery.
But before I lose myself here in all these side issues, and finally the main question, as it were, the closing time Quiz: Have
those responsible ever put even half an hour with the fabric apart?
I am no stranger to thank the many myths appear to Aesir, Vanir and a giant today rather inaccessible, and also that they were after World War II from a bad reputation, but if one of the stories so pure has no idea and probably would not have, but one should also ask them not to try to interpret.
The issue is in my pants.
I am not a follower of Asatru, nor do I claim to this area have average knowledge, but I am working for over five years with these stories, and even if Wagner surely then the characters very free-form, give me some figures were literally repulsive.
Wotan to create a barbaric Rocker seems to me the first and best evidence of a gruesome image disasters. quote: (Wagner or better):
To Wotan
"By contract, I defiantly tame her brood" Sun
Wotan speaks at the start of the second image.
While the God who once suffered from nine days to the people to bring the script (runic song: "Rune will find you and rate you staffs [...] of the most sublime of the rulers carved.") So muses that he by writing the lower being outwitted and made to services, sharpens in Freiburg, he only slightly insulted his spear.
Fricka, his anxious counselor acts more like the unfortunate wife with migraine.
And this characterization seems to continue, unfortunately, nothing changed. The same sense
Rhinemaidens more underage female tennis players, so that a maximum of pedophile Alberich appears.
Loki finally, the really beautiful, tempting God, who charmed not only in various forms, but also to give crafty advice white and Wotan to himself cunning inferior to no effect, less energetic, reminiscent of a truck driver, who slowly tells his life experience and then every now and then a red cap (I would have gladly taken him some time easy!) Rightly pushes.
Other figures seem so uninteresting and flat that they no longer even the critics are worth.
(? There was still a Freya, right
Oh, important goddess of love and a key figure
Not noticed ...
- Through its complex origins I will start not here, it would be compared to painful)
last another comment on the stage: Nope.
Essential responsible for parts of the idea that I could enjoy it with your eyes closed and counted in the other minutes. (Assassination of Alberich: checked, the appearance of the Norne: Abgehakt - Hach, maybe it ends soon)
I'm sorry, but this offense is preparing to great music and unusual story I probably still some time pain!.
