Rheingold! Rheingold!
Oct. 18th, 2007 01:02 pmSo I went to see Das Rheingold last night at Covent Garden. Having now seen two out of the four Ring operas, I can now categorically state that this production contains a lot of sexual weirdness.
In fact, it contains a lot of weirdness in general. This director makes dark, disturbing, disgusting choices-- which tend to work perfectly, because they're based on a true understanding of the story and its world. That is so rare that it's worth celebrating when we find it, I think. I'm disturbed and disgusted and I love it.
